Caverswall Quilt Cave

Arty Janet, who is more used to melting plastic bags then pressing seams on patchwork... is making it up as she goes along, it's fun to watch the creative process. This will be the back of a cushion with the front having a Rail Fence design, great colours eh! All fabrics purchased form my very own Table Top Shop, wadding on the side.
Gilly finished her quilt marathon only 2 days past the deadline, twas a gift for a relative so all was forgiven, if noticed at all... I have a full picture of the quilt to share with you another time... For now, Jilly is having a tough time trying to decide which project to start next... she has a long list, so she practiced making the No Waste Flying Geese
Wendy... you might not believe me, but she started yet another project! This time a kaleidoscope quilt. She finished off the last few whole blocks during our meeting and played about with a few filler fabrics... don't they look stunning!
Arty Beryl has many pieces of oriental type fabric and was eager to make a project with it... unlike myself who would have never cut into such beauties! ha ha ha I'm silly I know ... the black strips are folded pieces which will add dimension.... do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? he he he... I know what I mean so don't go worrying...
Irene's project is coming along nicely, I would say she has about a third of it joined together. She wasn't able to progress further though as she had forgotten to bring her pattern/design.
Joan The Shop didn't have the best of quilty days. She had measured her outer border a little bit too short without realising it so, when she stitched it into place it made the edges curl up, getting measurements just right is so important... too long and the edges will be wavy, too short and they make the edges too tight so they will pull.... here my Mum (Gwynneth) and Joan herself are sitting chatting as they unpick it all, shame...
Karen, another of our new ladies, added a few extra blocks to her beginner Rail Fence centre and after adding an inner border she has decided that we need to make it bigger... 2 1/2" wide piano keys for the next round, then we'll see whether we need another border after that...
Diane hasn't been able to join us for a few weeks but that hasn't stopped her progressing with this quilt... in fact it is finished all but the binding... this is a huge quilt and given that Diane had only made cushions and bags until now, I think we should take our hats off to her.. the colours are beautiful and the quilting is fabulous.

We meet again tomorrow, Friday 4th March 10am to 3pm. We're expecting a rather quiet day with lots of the ladies unable to come so there should be lots of tables spare... should you like to come and join us....
