First : I joined the SAQA, huge step… It is a sign that (I thing) I begin to feel and act like an artist. Since I do not have the support (in the ‘traditional quilt world’) I looked for in my neighborough, I will seek it elsewhere. Sue and Terri : you were so right !
Second : I will start a City and Guild creative sketchbooks online course from Linda and Laura Kemshall .
This will help me to sort my ideas and to let me –more than now- work in series.
I must admit that when I took the workshop with Sharon Bogon , past summer about having a journal and using it, I enjoyed the sketching and the doodling.
I didn’t want to take a patchwork and quilting course because I want to enlarge my vision of making art. I wanted to have a look from another side.
There are more than one road that lead to Rome !
I wanted to add a picture of a quilttop. Started as a doodle and then as a mathematic play.Will be finished soon…

Hey Nathalie! It definitely sounds like you have been busy with your decisions. Hope you enjoy the City & guilds course. I'm loving that spiral quilt.
Gosh that is beautiful. Did you draw it on paper first and then cut out the pattern? I can't even imagine how you would put something like this together.
WOW, I'm jealous that you go for the course with Linda and Laura Kemshall. I'm sure you'll love it and that you'll learn a lot.
BTW, jealous is not the right word, the idea is in the back of my head, but I can't find the time right now to step in.
Hi Nathalie,
Congratulations to your decisions. Will you let us participate a bit regarding your progress in the sketchbook course? I started a city and guilds course on quilting (two years ago) - today I would chose sketchbook, too, since I developed more towards mixed media technique.
Cheers, Angelika
