We go with the flow in my classroom. Classes are very organic, Folk can work on any project they choose. Each project inspires others a great deal. From the pattern to the fabrics and colours, every day is a learning day. You don't have to remember anything either, we can repeat, repeat, repeat, And we do! That's enough said on the subject, but we do laugh!

Stitching News
Bev's Badger cushion front. She's not tried applique with straight stitching before but she enjoyed it. The pattern is by Helen Newton and purchased from etsy) The Borders were very carefully chosen. It was tricky because the blue fabric that Bev wanted to use didn't look right on it's own. We persevered and, As you can see, three borders? Perfectly, perfect!
Cheryl Cheryl is on a quilting roll. I think this is her largest sandwich yet. It's about 100" square. We had to use extra tables and could hardly fit ourselves around it to pin.The pattern's from the book, Quilted With Love by Sarah Fielke
Merlot is in love with her Little Llamas, another pattern from Elizabeth Hartman
"They are soooo damn cute!!" she said a few times.
She's right, they are super cute. Many more Little Lamas will be made, the fabrics have already been allocated for them, no surprise there.
Quilty Quarters
I was hoping to show you that I had quilted the huge Grow Fee, Wildflowers quilt. That was my long Bank Holiday weekend plan. Needless to say, it's still draped over my sofa, looking gorgeous though. I had a few family things thrown into the mix and the chores to catch up on. Then the time left after all that, went into this:-
Don't even ask why I started another project. I'm just out of control, ha! I had several, lovely triangles left over from making this quilt and
I wanted to make a little something to use them all up.
That's it, nothing more planned. And now I have 9 x 20" blocks to sew together, then another quilt top, at least 60" square will be joining the waiting Queue for quilting. I still have some fabrics left from the Long Quarter Bundle, it's all Alison Glass fabric and was gifted to me ages ago, so I might ponder a border to use them up. It's never ending, this quilt production, it's a Good job I love it.
