Caverswall Quilt Cave

Dotty Maureen's feeling very proud of her new project. The colours are very 'Spring-y' just makes you smile to look at it. This was a pattern free on t'Internet, Dotty did make a few adjustments, but, she says, it's been quite simple to make... even though it looks really difficult with those pointy borders... Prairie Points... then again, Dotty is very good at the figuring out stuff... I might have found it more of a battle...
Karen, like so many beginners, has decided she would like to make her quilt bigger... single bed size was mentioned but with the fabric she has we're stopping at a throw... which she will be glad of when she starts the process of quilting, just for a first project....
Wendy brought in some of her scraps in order to make a block or two for Helen's fund raising quilt. She scanned the Marsha book, as it's come to be known, to find something a little challenging but not too complex... we all do this me thinks... make it look difficult to those who are not in the know eh... he he he.

Gilly's going for it again... cutting up old curtains for a new project... we all remember Gilly uttering the words... "never again" when she was struggling with her last one but... hey ho.. more fussy cutting and curtain unpicking has helped her forget all the recent traumas... again though, I am sure it will be worth it. This next one will be based on the Garden Twist pattern ... now I have to tell you, while searching for a picture to show you I found loads of free quilt patterns... take a look here
Ruth worked on the last few blocks for this quilt. She hasn't found it to be the easiest project, complicated by the fabrics that have no right way up... as I've said before, just one flick of a shape and your lost! Mr. Rubik might like to know about this one!
My Mum (Gwynneth) has finished stitching the 'crop circle' design on her quilt, she had marked the circles with pencil before sewing... most people have to do that really... circles are hard to do... well, if you want them to be round that is, he he he

Maggie was working on piano key borders but, once she had all the strips sewn together, she realised that it was all looking too 'orange-y'... not a problem as we do promote PMS (Pleasing My Self)... there will now be an inner border of 2 1/2" square followed by a wider border of that delicious brown fabric. All of the left over strips will be used to liven up the back...

Wendy finished her kaleidoscope quilt top and brought it in to sandwich. On entering our Quilt Cave she shouted that she was very cross with me!!... he he he, she had her backing already pieced but as she had passed by the 'Table Top Shop, wadding on the side' she had spied some of my new fabrics.... the Westminster ones... ooooo they're lovely. So, Wendy just had to change her plan.... 2 metres of perfectly co-ordinating fabric were purchased, a new backing was pieced and a beautiful sandwich was made... sorry to upset the apple cart Wendy... there are more new fabrics coming next week!! ha ha ha

We meet again on Friday 11th March, 10am - 3pm.... want to see the new fabrics too?
