Caverswall Quilt Cave

Brenda Barbara (our very own paper girl who deliveres magazines to your table... that and our free range eggs from Gilly...it doesn't get more convenient than that you know...) had finished the top of her play mat quilt... the bright yellow inner border makes all the colours 'pop', don't you agree, perfect choice me thinks. She made a fabulous backing for this quilt but the photo was very blurred so you'll have to see it next week. Brenda made a sandwich with the help of my Mum(Gwynneth) and Dotty Maureen... now to quilt it....
This could be Joan The Shop's fastest ever project... she only started it a few days ago and she's adding borders already, with mitred corners done beautifully...
Helen has caught up with Dotty Maureen... and that's quite an achievement... it's quite possible that Helen is actually winning now, not that it's meant to be a race... she's getting very good at hitting the corners perfectly with the fancy stitching...
We trimmed up Maid Marion's blocks to 7 3/4"... a funny size I thought, then Marion cut the bright yellow sashing with lovely blue corner stones and set to work getting the tops made... yes topS.. she's making 2 cuddle quilts at the same time!
Shirley Lerly's very chuffed to have finished most of the quilting on this lap quilt. There's already another sandwiched waiting for the walking foot treatment.... it's kind of... the same, but different!
Barbie's had a whole lot of trouble with her sewing machine. Lots of the quilting had puckered up so she had to spend quite a while unpicking it all. Bernina Aurora to the rescue!!! After no time at all the project was back on track... which made Barbie happy, with only a week to go to the deadline!
Lizi finished quilting the centre of her huge quilt and moved onto the borders. Stitch number 4 on the Bernina is a tiny curved zig-zag, but if you lengthen the stitch to number 2.8, or there abouts, it makes a fabulous wavy line... and this is how the borders were done.. they look fabulous, trimming up and binding next time.

We meet again on Wedneday 9th and Friday 11th February, 10am - 3pm. I'm expecting new fabrics to be delivered for my Table Top Shop next week and more King Tut thread should be here too... oh we love the variegated threads!!
See you next time.....
