Caverswall Quilt Cave

Wendy brought in this quilt, finished, bound and all... the inner yellow border is 3D and, in my opinion, makes all the other colours 'pop'... can colours 'pop'?...
This is the back, I feel very proud when the ladies use up left overs to make the backing.... if you click on the photo you can see that Wendy used red thread to quilt and she did a great job.
Lacey Ann missed us for several meetings because she was snowed in... you can see that she enjoyed the forced Snow Day Sew Days... One side The Hungry Caterpillar the other side, completely different with Texas here I come! (This quilt is going to Texas you see) double sided 'Quilt As You Go' I have to say that this is a brilliant example!.. yes ladies, both pictures are the same one quilt, not two!

Lacey Ann again... she is so clever... she had looked at the very small picture of my Bargello wall hanging (at the bottom of this blog) then set about making her own... stunning, I'm sure you will agree. As for the colours she says... ' I just used what I had because I was snowed in'... She spent the day making a sandwich and quilting.
My Mum (Gwynneth) continued to quilt her project. She keeps being interrupted though as she is the official shop keeper for the "Table Top Shop, wadding on the side", which was quite busy yesterday...
Chris went home last week and had a go at making one of the "10 minute blocks" she wrote a short tutorial for herself so that she can remember how, she is trying hard not to start another project just yet...
.... she's still working on this split 4-Patch you see, oh, and the Tennessee Waltz wedding gift one, and her Mat & Ruler bag, the baby quilt and and and, he he he... sound familiar?
This design is very simple to make and great for a fast finish. It's based on the good old Rail Fence block so lots of long simple 1/4" seams that get cut into blocks. A short time to arrange everything in the right order and you're done... simples! It's Joan's and she needs it done yesterday...
Luckily the Peppa Pig quilt is now ready for Santa... thanks to Wendy who very kindly hand stitched the binding down for Joan who has an extremely sore finger preventing her from doing it herself.... the next quilt will be done completely by machine.
Diane made ANOTHER bag, this time she printed off a photo of her cute little dog to use for the middle of the star block.
She also printed a photo of her house... as you see here, she's going "Arty Farty"... we're trying to get a border that continues out from the photo.... you can tell that though, right?

We had lots of visitors, the heating man included.. looks like it's all fixed now.. which is just as well with another cold snap on it's way to us. If you're coming to play in the Quilt Cave, wrap up... just in case!...
I hope the predicted snow allows the next two meeting to happen... watch this space for further info.....
We meet again on Friday 17th December, which is the last Friday of this year! Wow.
Don't forget we will be stitching away next Wednesday 22nd December... there'll be home made Mince pies in Kettle Corner!
