I have actually managed to collect a few photos. I really must get back into the habit of taking pictures, I think I talk too much, then I just forget, nothing new there. Classes are really busy at the moment. New victims have been coming to learn this wonderful craft of Patchwork & Quilting, and fabric collecting, which goes along side doesn't it.
I'm a bit late showing you this lovely project. It's Christabelle's and she made into a gifting cushion. The photo got hidden in my phone and popped up just this morning. It's one of the free patterns gifted to you on the Tilda's world website. There are so many to choose from, you will have to have a scroll through the catalogue. It's called Kimono Girl and is a PDF
I had a Sandwich Saturday, on a Friday again! Princess Jackie came, eager to get her sandwich done as it needs to be quilted and finished in good time to be gifted for Christmas . Jackie hasn't stuck to the original pattern though. She has used all the sizing but she's chosen to replace a lot of the blocks with more intricate blocks, because she wanted to and because she can!! It's still very obviously the Boho Heart though.
Merlot came to choose backing fabric ready for sandwiching this wonderful Monster quilt top. Doesn't it look great fun with her fabric choices. Most of which were already in Louise's home stash. I doubt this project even put a dent in it, ha!
Christabelle is ready for your trumpets to be polished. In the original pattern this quilt didn't have any sashing but, pleasing her very own self, Chris decided she wanted sashing and tiny little corner stones, so add them she did. It looks really good. With the addition of the Faux Piped Binding we can give a huge fanfare for Chris's fabulous and finished quilt toot toot toot
Mary was so very pleased to have finished quilting her King Sized quilt, it was a monster! She was delighted to be able to start a new, much smaller project. She's never tackled applique before but, I think it is fair to say, she is smitten. From tracing the shapes and understanding about the order of things, gluing, placing the shapes, carefully pressing and to the blanket stitching, all of it, she loved it.
With such awful weather, I hope you didn't get too much damage in the storm, I had chance to do a bit of quilting on this, my Colourful Black quilt. I'm going to need a lint roller when it's finished. Can you see all the fluffy bits of wadding on the black fabric, like peach fuzz?
It's fewer than 6 weeks to go until sewing prevention season kicks into gear.
I do still have a few places available on the Quiltmas Sewing Retreat, which I am ever so excited about. I have, I think, decided on one project to take, more on that later, plus I might change my mind, because I can!
