Stitching News

A quiet shop week so far, this sunshine keeps everyone outside and in their gardens.
It's the same scenario every year but it's a good chance to tidy up a few loose ends. A FEW? Who am I kidding, ha!

Our Norma's Beautiful Batik blocks are almost all finished. On Sunday at Checkley this weekend, she will be using the tables to lay the blocks out for the choosing of the sashing colours. The blocks are 18 inches each so this quilt has grown pretty quickly.

Judy's taking a short break from her 'Judy's Christmas' projects. She was itching to get started on a new bed scarf/bed runner quilt, they are both the same thing really. Star blocks that will make a fabulous secondary design, we love a secondary design. You'll see it soon.
Just Jan popped in to show off her Log Cabin gifting quilt. She's very pleased with it, obviously she is, and it was made lick-etty-split to boot. Less than two weeks I think.  It's ready for a toot toot toot fanfare as it is, fabulous and finished and,

A few left over blocks have been made into a fabulous cushion complete with piping. 
What a wonderful gift for a birthday! all co-ordinated too. more tooting!

Oh My Goodness, how extremely cute is Gail's sandwich? There's such a lot of cute detail on this quilt, The characters' expressions say it all, even the bees!! There's a few hours of quilting to be done next.

Oh dear, she who should not be starting any new projects until she has quilted her big Pickled Fish quilt, has been very naughty, she pleased her very own self and... sorted out the background fabrics needed for the next one!!
