Sneak Preview

Sheila and I spent sandwich Saturday playing... no-one needed the tables this week and my very own quilt shop was relatively quiet.... it's very predictable, lovely sunny days are grabbed for gardening chores! I recently volunteered to make the 'Angel' sashes for the upcoming Uttoxeter Quilt Show... They,Traplet, weren't sure what colour they wanted... and you must know me by now... why have just the one colour when you could use the whole rainbow!!! Sheila's got a very clever embroidery machine, I've collected many amazing embroidery threads... perfect playmates.

Interesting?

the red quilt you see there in the picture.
She's learning lots about sewing with triangles

Barbara BB's feeling very proud of her very own self.
She stitched the morning away enjoying the company around her...
Patchwork and quilting really does get easier as time goes by...
practice makes perfect... you surely heard that many times before?

Bitten by the 'sewing pre-cut squares bug', Peggy chose a Charm Pack ready to make a lap quilt ... all for her very own self.
We had fun choosing the lay out... but that's a whole 'nother story.
