Caverswall Quilt Cave

This lap quilt belongs to Maid Marian, she needed to get it finished so I quickly did some big meander quilting on her borders to help her speed it up a bit, she added continuous binding... which she has never done before... she was quite impressed how it works... The quilt was finished, just in the nick of time!
Lacey Ann made loads of Flying Gees units which she will use for the first of her pieced borders, she used this no waste method to make four at a time. She too was impressed with what she was doing....
Pauline finished piecing the four quarters of her baby quilt and joined them together. The slight variation in the seam allowances made it a bit difficult but it looked fabulous once it was done... at least this is a fun learning curve eh!
Helen's making almost perfect blocks now... all the little tips and tricks have proved to be very useful to her... only twenty six more 6" blocks to go and exams are finished so they shouldn't take her too long!
Barbie kept her head down all day to get all of these split hearts done. They will be hand stitched to their background, don't worry about the ones facing the wrong way... we saw them...
Lauren continues to make 12" blocks, each one is getting a co-ordinating border... this stripy fabric is great on the Churndash block, don't you think? Lauren says she is enjoying the fudging process, which is a good thing as most of us need to do it on a regular basis eh...
I'm beginning to think that Joan The Shop is making the most difficult bag in the world... he he he, it is looking great but this is week three of the making process, and she's doing lots of homework. I think she'll get back to more of her Daisiez next week though.
Annie ... what can I say.... she only started quilting ten weeks ago and, so far she has aaaaaalmost made a quilt a week! Mum asked if her bed was for sale to which Annie asked "Why do you ask that Gwyn?" ... response from my Mum? "Well, your obviously not using it!" ha ha ha. Annie took home instructions to make a Pineapple blossom quilt... let's see if it comes in finished on Friday....
I can't finish without showing, once again, my frightfully chic quilting glove.... oh they make me smile every time I use them... free with €50 of fuel in Portugal!
We meet again Wednesday 25th and Friday 27th in Caverswall Quilt Cave...
It's the last day of the NEC Quilt Festival today (Sunday) so I'll try to get a few photos ... I've been too busy stewarding and playing on all the machines that are there... I LOVE sewing machines!
