Quilt Class

Dotty Maureen ordered this golfing fabric from an online shop in the USA, she's making a quilt for a young golfer... it's amazing what we can find printed on cotton isn't it... We have a lady looking for tyre print fabrics and one looking for electricity pylons (sp?) so far we've not found either of them... that's not to say it's not out there somewhere. Can you help? angiequilts@gmail.com
As Lovely Lyn finished her Bunny Baby Quilt it's time to start another. This one, also a baby gift, needs to be ready as soon as possible so we chose a bordered square design... It will probably come in finished by Next Tuesday, that's the day Lovely Lyn comes to Quilt Class...
This work area belongs to Giggly Gillian. She started this very bright quilt quite a while ago but had to put it on one side while she made a wedding quilt and the Sheep baby quilt that, I think, she finished last week. This project was to have been a double bed size quilt but Gillian has very much enjoyed making the small projects, so it's now shrunk and will be for a twin bed... there's time for more mind changing yet though...
These busy hands belong to Maid Marion. She's gone and gotten herself ahead of Dotty Maureen and Helen with this Heirloom quilt, much to Helen's delight... it means that Marion can figure out what to do (and it's really not easy at all!) and pass on top tips and "How To's" to Helen, until now it's been the other way around.
Both ladies are nearing the end of the smaller blocks... long Heirloom borders are looming!

Would love to be thought of as 'giggly Gillian' - how nice for everyone to think of you as a happy soul. Stunning stuff as usual.

Interesting projects starting. If pylon and tyre track fabric cannot be found commercially, how about taking photos of their own and using Spoonflower to create their own fabric? You can order as little as a fat quarter I think

She could always find an image of a tyre track and print direct onto fabric herself. They're very good quality too.
