Raise your trumpets folks, it's tooting time!

This lovely quilt's been made using a Jelly Roll and a Jelly Roll book, I can't recall which one though. Clare has a friend who does the quilting, on her long arm machine, so that helped with timing, which is brilliant when there's need for haste! The quilt has now been gifted, toot toot toot It's a fabulous and finished triumph Clare!

Princess Jackie is next up for tooting. Isn't this a fabulous quilt for a cat lover. The design is called Cat Scratch. It's quirky and fun too. Jackie has really enjoyed making it, she's quilted more scratches in the background, she says it was easy doing little straight lines. This is the pattern info 

An amazing backing too, Jackie never avoids the extra work needed to make a great backing. A richly coloured, double sided, totally toot toot toot-able quilt, fabulous and finished, bang on time for gifting.

Our Pam has excelled her very own self. This might be her speediest finish to date. It was a special request from a very special lad to gift to a baby who will be here quite soon. Pam sprang into action and completed it Lick-etty-split. Obviously it's needing binding in my photo, so you will just have to take my word for it, it did get finished! Applause for Pam xx

Christabelle found a pile of 60 degree triangles, all made from a Jelly Roll. I think the collection was called Trade Winds, by Moda so we know it was started a while ago. She brought them in to my shop and I instantly remembered why she'd made them. We did design mathemisms by drawing on the table. It's easier to draw actual sizes and the pencil marks clean off with a bit of Jif and elbow grease.

This is Chris's project too. It's going to be a gifting cushion,. The piecing is a little tricky and with Free Motion Quilting it will be fabulous. I think the design is from a Tilda book.

This is Christabelle's finished quilt top. Adorable. Most of the fabrics are from Tilda, one of the Fat Quarter bundles I think. It's all measured up ready for a perfect backing fabric hunt on Sunday when we're off to the Festival Of Quilts for our annual pilgrimage.

There are still seats available on our coach. All the details have been highlighted in an earlier post. I do have a couple of spare tickets now, due to cancellations. You can contact me for further information.
