Stitching News

This first quilt has been in the making process for a very long time. Jean Bean heard of a newly planted baby seed and got straight onto designing a quilt. She quite often starts her design ideas with a JellyCat purchase,  how cute is this Mr Badger, Riverside Rambler!


 There's a fox too. Jean called him Ferdinand Fox

here's Mr Badger as a work in progress

The finished quilt has now been delivered, of course Baby was delivered too, ha!
It's not he best photo of the quilt but we might get a better one soon. Toot toot toot Jean Bean, a finally finished fabulous woodland quilt, a simply splendid specimen it is too!

Farmer Lynda sent this picture of her latest fabulous and finished gifting quilt for yet another newly arrived little baby. Lynda is getting very good use out of her Scandinavian Tomte Pattern, this is just using one corner... what a great idea, we can do that with our very own patterns! Toot toot toot Lynda

Pam has been commissioned to make a quilt for new little baby boy. Pam's made quite a number of baby quilts lately and they were mostly unisex or girly ones. She's really enjoying making this space pattern, and yes, I know girls go to space too.
Pam always carefully chooses her matching threads... 
She had quite a selection to choose from too!
We can watch the progress as it happens, If I remember to take pictures!

Cheryl Cheryl has finished her wonderful quilt top. 
She has really embraced and enjoyed the Organic applique. It's sandwich time now.

Farmer Lynda made the Cats On The Fence quilt 'TOP' with a kit she purchased from my very good self,  to sew on our last retreat. The top was completed on the retreat and this new top was conjured up for the back using all the left overs and a few more fabrics besides... as you can see... the top is now the back and the back is now the front... now that's PMS!!!!

Bev now has enough blocks made to start joining them together. 
She will be a Half Square Triangle making expert after this quilt. Log Cabin blocks are great practice for the "Scant Quarter Inch Seam"

Do you remember my Ugly Bird House Quilt
Suzie has started to make one for her very own self. This is the start, a garden wall... but she's using beautiful fabrics. I so wish I had made notes to write up a pattern for this quilt as I've had so many requests for it... Suzie is making it up for her very own self, guided by my very ugly one.
A beginner cushion.... 
We haven't really had one of these for  a while have we?
Lyn was absolutely delighted with everything she had learned during her day... she's coming again, I did warn her that we live on the dark side... she jumped on board!

A zipped cushion back too, it always impresses folk. 
Toot toot toot Lyn, you did a great job!


Just a footnote to remind you that there's a Sunday Funday Sewday next weekend. 30th January. I have a few tables available should you decide you NEED to come play!
