Keswick Group Met Today!

Hiya Folks,
Just wanted to let you know, snow or no snow, we met up today. I've managed to get some more photos of projects that Karen Quickfall has done. I promise to get them posted soon!
:) Stay warm!

A New Post!

Hiya Everyone,

I'm sure you know worse bloggers, but I just can't imagine how bad they must be!

I've had a sit down with Angie and she has helped me put names to photos that she has taken. We'd just like to say, this is all done from her addled brain, so if there are any mistakes - please let me know!

Let me see if I can remember how to do this posting thing!

This is a selection of some of Karen Quickfall's needlework cases.

Are you envious? Because I am.

I covet them.

Her work is immaculate.

Disgusting, really!

(She knows I love her, don't worry!)

Let's see - can I get two photos in one?

This is another set of gorgeous needlecases. Because who can have just one?

If you're like Joey and want to learn Ruskin (though it would be better if you didn't live in the USA!) get yourself to Karen Quickfall. If she can teach me, she can teach anyone. Patience of a saint. And very entertaining stories!

Yay! It's 2012 and only January and I've managed to post!

Wa Hey!

Karen Quickfall Box Three

I'm learning I need to do this in bits!

This is box three!

A Karen Quickfall Extravaganza!

I have loads of photos of her work, and I'm not to proud to say I'm jealous! Here you go:

Here is a selection of bags she has made:




Here is box number one - I'm planning on stealing this one. Don't mention it to her.





























Box 2 - Just gorgeous.

Karen Quickfall's Work

Hiya Folks,

Here's some promised photos of her work:

This is a sampler from 2004.

And just because one wasn't enough, here's one from 2007!!

I promise you to post more of these! I've got loads!

Karen Quickfall Pattern No. 65

This is a photo of one of Karen Quickfall's boxes. Yes, take a second, it's stunning, isn't it?


Let me put another closer photo of it for you:


I think Karen has done Pattern 65 here. Karen.....corrections are welcome!

You can see why she teaches!

One of her best tips (and might be the best tips of others, too) is to use red as a background, it shows off the lace beautifully! I think you'll agree!
