Mariner's Compass Workshop  (2008)

with Margaret Drayton

January 12-13 2008, 10am - 4pm each day

"I had always thought of the Mariners Compass block as very intimidating and could never attempt to make it, but with Margaret's wonderful 2 days of tuition, laughter and encouragement, I am eager to start," said Jenni Strachan - see Jenni's full write-up about this exciting workshop by clicking the link   OR   in the February newsletter

What a great two days! Margaret showed ...

• How a Mariner’s Compass block is 'built'

• How to draft your own individual block

• How a basic block can be developed and extended into a more detailed block

• How to do off-set compasses - e.g. oval - and how to draft the necessary pattern
