A couple of months ago, I flew up to Urunga in New South Wales for a workshop with Galla Grotto. Galla is a Russian quilter who lives in France. I went with Sue de Vanny and we stayed at a lovely place that was an easy walking distance to the venue where the class was being held.
The photo below was the view from our apartment balcony, my photo does not do it justice.

Galla speaks very little English so we had an interpreter named Tamara who is a Russian living in Australia.
Here is a photo with Sue, Galla and myself. We do look a little worse for wear but it was at the end of the day and the weather was quite warm and humid.

Galla's work is absolutely beautiful, so precise and perfect. Here is a photo of the class samples.
It was three days of precise cutting, folding back the edges of the applique pieces and placement, we didn't get to do any sewing.
Here is my nearly finished top.

I had a lovely time up there. Sue and I walked to the venue and had a coffee at the local cafe and had walks along the river. We went out to dinner every night and I loved the warm weather.
The class was hosted by Caroline Sharkey, who also provided delicious morning and afternoon teas and lunches. I highly recommend doing any of the workshops that Caroline hosts, she does them well, you are truly looked after.
Bye for now,
Linda
