Angie's Patchwork & Quilting shop. I don't really buy fabric to sell. I buy fabric for YOU to choose from.
 |
| Morning Josie added the lovely yellow inner border before stitching on this fabulous striped fabric... who would have thought that a half inch strip could look so good!! Me... I almost always need a little inner border What a cute kiddy quilt Josie made!!! |
 |
| Oooooh lookie, Loulou chose the same pattern, it's one of Kid's Quilts. With softer shades yet similar colours for fabrics, they look s0 different... Loulou's quilt will have three borders, inner burnt orange and middle blue-ish... wait til you see the main border!!!! |
 |
| Di Butterfly also chose an inner border, off-white-ish... which works perfectly to tie the main border to the Hexagon colours, which were from a free strip roll, not a Moda Jelly Roll, with a magazine subscription last year. |
 |
| Margaret, even though she has two quilt sandwiches pinned and ready to be quilted and her Noah quilt ready and waiting to be sandwiched... decided to make cushions!!! Oh my word... her imagination is going off in top gear while the quilted stitching is laps behind... ever happen to you??? |
 |
| Barbie was very please t have come to the border adding part! She's against the clock with this project. Barbie's perfectly purple inner border was carefully chosen and stitched on before the neutral main border... see she's measuring the border through the centre of her quilt, top marks Barbie! |
 |
| After enjoying making and finishing her beginner cushion... As we never know how quickly this addiction is going to bite, we just know that it does! Barbara's already moved on to spot of pattern designing!! |
 |
| Peggy made a little quilt sandwich, rather licketty-split, her shadow quilting was soon completed... before long the In The Ditch border stitching was done too. See that red inner border! just light up all of the other colours doesn't it. |
 |
| New Sue came for Sandwich Saturday to get this beautiful sampler top pinned and ready for quilting. The design for which is still being thunk through.... but we can be quite sure and know it will be fabulous |
 |
| My Mum Gwynneth grabbed a sandwich opportunity ... this is her third commissioned quilt. The lady was so pleased with the first two Mum made that this one was ordered too. The young fellow chose his own fabrics... the guy has talent eh! |
 |
| One solitary photograph!! But what a picture it is... Princess Jackie's fabulous and finished, cuter than cute, little appliqued cushion. She's so blasé about her designs you know, we LOVE them. Toot toot toot Jackie, another triumph! |
 |
| This is one of the commissioned quilts that My Mum Gwynneth made It's still a fabulous finish so we can give out a toot toot toot fanfare. Made with the Nautical fabrics from Makower. |
 |
| Commissioned quilt number 2 made by my Gwynneth, in beautiful fabrics from various manufacturers... This design is very popular and not too tricky to make, which is just as well because when the lady came to collect her quilts, she loved them and ordered one more! |
 |
| Margaret has finished her Noah's Ark quilt top. It needs to be sandwiched but we can't do that until she finishes with the pins that are in the other two sandwiches... this lady is evidently addicted to stitching!! |
 |
| This cushion was finished in two sessions... that's good going! Margaret is one of the lucky beginners who took to rotary cutting like a natural so was soon stitching up a storm. Toot toot toot for your fabulous and finished cushion Margaret. |
 |
| The back of Margaret's cushion... Beautiful Art Gallery fabrics.... Complete with a zip installed with my super easy method. |
 |
| Wooohooo... a toot toot toot fanfare is needed for a another fabulous finish. Barbara was thrilled (her words and I agree) with her beginner cushion. |
 |
| She was very impressed with the zip installation method too. Barbara enjoyed her beginner project so much that project number two has been chosen already. |
 |
| Jenny Barlaston popped in to make a lap quilt sandwich... this is a beautiful quilt has been made with a Charm pack from Basic Grey and extra background fabric... Moda's Grunge fabric was a perfect fit. I'm guessing that Jenny will be quilting all day today (Sunday) |
 |
| Barbara Bew has a fabulous and finished quilt ready for a fanfare, toot toot toot-etty-toot. Beautiful Batik fabrics and a perfectly co-ordinating thread for all of the straight line quilting... you might expect this quilt to be a bit firm with all those lines but I can promise you... it is scrumptiously soft and cuddle-abubble |
 |
| Lady Judith is back with her shiny new knee... She lied to us though, sorry to tell you but... after saying she wouldn't make such a large quilt again on completing her last project... she's at it again!! |
 |
| Carol is working with my new in stock Tilda fabric... it looks great with that Moda William Morris green. She's beef flicking through the block book and has come up with a plan to make a lovely bed runner. Carol wanted a challenge, she's very keen to learn more about piecing... she's very good at it too. |
 |
| Jenny Barlaston made up this Super Strippy Square bag using the sunniest of colours from my Batik Beauties selection... it's going to be gifted! Boy what a lovely gift to receive. Toot toot toot Jenny, a fabulous finish. |
 |
| Farmer Lynda has finished all of her blocks, The design is Dutchman's Puzzle. Lynda used this method for making her geese, very clever it is too. Each block has been quilted already so now that the layout has been decided, Lynda's learning how to join them, appartment-ly! |
 |
| My Mum Gwynneth is quilting the last of the commissioned quilts. This particular one has stirred interest with my customers with it's subtle colours... There are lot's of thread ends to be tied off and threaded through... It has to be dome 'properly' for commissioned work, ha ha ha |
 |
| This fabulous and finished quilt is Princess Jackie's, our first prize winning quilter... and it's well deserving of a toot-e-licious toot-etty-tooting fanfare. Just as well it is finished now because the baby came!!! What a beautiful design Jackie conjured up... |
 |
| This is the back, as we have come to expect, it's just as lovely and really shows off all of Jackie's quilting |
 |
| Toot toot tootin again now, for Carol this time... She has her very own fabulous and finished quilt to share with us... finished on her very own, brand new Juki!! This quilt was made using two Charm Packs |
 |
| And all the leftover bits were used on the back with this lovely, lush green... this was purchased from one of the Temptation Trolleys!! I love what the ladies do on the quilt backs... |
 |
| Annbacan was making a quilt sandwich with this Advent Calendar and as she did so we had hail, snow and rain and it was howling a hooley-looley windy outside... the customer service is wonderful in my very own shop... we even provide weather to suit your projects!!! Toot toot toot Annbacan. |
 |
| Princess Jackie started a new project... her own design again You can see it's going to be lovely already. Jackie will tie all those ends off while watching the TV later |
 |
| Fruity Rose is making a quilt from Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine... what a very confusing pattern it is too... but we sorted it, out in the end... at least I think we did |
 |
| Gail has been having fun making these sampler blocks. 10 done and two more to go. Gail's using a Jelly Roll book pattern but cutting her very own 2 1/2" strips What beautiful fabric choices!!! |
 |
| Made with Makower's Nautical fabric range... This is a customer commission quilt... Did you know that we can make quilts for you? |
 |
| Customer commission quilt number two. I confess, this is an absolutely rubbish picture... The beautiful, blue-ish-green-ish-blues and pastel-pinks look washed out! I'll take a better picture soon. |
 |
| Boom!!!... It took me most of the day because I played shop with customers all day at the very same time... Sandwiched with Hobbs Heirloom 80% cotton / 20% poly. blend wadding, I sell it you know, 120" wide, that's 3 metres wide from the roll, very handy indeed when your quilt is huuuuge! ha ha ha.... Now then... how to quilt it? The same design as the Moda pattern suggests? It looks easy enough... |
