A busy classroom week. Lot's of new projects planned, supplies purchased, stitching and cutting has started, which is always a good sign, especially with me owning my very own quilt shop!
Rose got to grips with the method for Improvisational Curves and waves, even to adding 'slithers'. The embellishing has started too... free-wheeling (that's Roses terminology for Free Motion work) and wool felt doodahs! This small wall hanging will be the Spring edition.
Our Pam is on a mission to use up her scraps (aren't we all?). She's become a little overwhelmed by beautiful left overs and has decided, they will be used up!! Quarter Log Cabin blocks with multi coloured and multi sized strips. That's a good start eh.
Pam had a plastic box full of left overs from making the Cat's On The Fence quilt. It was a kit but there were still plenty of bits left. I should have taken a picture of all the bits before we came up with this very smart 'Bonus Quilt'... Pam did need to purchase the bright pink dotty fabric but all the rest was in the box.
And a finished quilt... what and absolutely fabulous quilt it is too. Christabelle designed it, all by her very own self!!! Tabitha explained exactly what she wanted and Chris ran with those wishes...
I'm not sure you will be able to see all the lovely details, the tiny, weeny buttons, the embroidery, the 3D little charms on the cat collars!! It is an absolutely fabulous and finished, totally toot toot toot-a-bubble Gifting quilt... and there's another coming soon for Tabitha's little sister.
After coming up with a paper plan for using a printed panel for Just Jan's needed fast finish last week, I decided to make up a quilt to show other customers the idea. We often struggle with the using pre-printed panels because, usually, they are too long for how wide they are. The sample is in my shop if you want to see it. I'll be writing up simple instructions, some time soon-ish.
