Charity shop quilt top

 

It's been a long while since my last post - been away working quite a bit and it also feels as if an awful lot has happened. Just before Easter we got away to Cornwall where I was able to finish off the charity shop hexagon EPP quilt top. Luckily I had enough floor space to lay it out. I'm going to turn it into a coverlet by backing it with fleece and tying the layers through the centres of some of the flowers. Posting this picture also gives me a chance to say bye bye to our lovely girl Teazel, who was helping me with the lay out of this quilt at the time. We lost her to a sudden heart attack on the 10th June and there is a big golden girl shaped hole in our hearts right now.

 

 

Doug's sewing journey continues

Doug has been continuing to sew and experiment with printing - he is on to curves now and realising the delights of Drunkard's Path!

 

 

 

 

 

These show you what you can print with potato, butternut squash cubes and lemon slices!

 

Doug and Becky bought me a little friend for my birthday, Doug has also discovered a skill making hats for lemurs! Currently, my friend is known at The Cardinal.

 

 

A visit to The American Museum in Bath

Various traditional quilts - note my finger as a scale for some C19th Amish hand quilting! - and some from the Kaffe Fasset exhibition which was a riot of glorious colour

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least!!

 

Jane's wonderful super sized monkey wrench quilt - isn't it amazing? - and she did all her own calculations and everything. Didn't we have a brilliant teacher to make us all so good, Debs?

 

 

I hope to get back to some more regular posting now and I know that various of my fellow Sew 'n' Chatters also have stuff to contribute ... Bye for now
