Caverswall Quilt Cave, Katharine Guerrier cont'd

Lots of ladies have continued to make blocks after our wonderful workshop with Katharine Guerrier the other Friday, all were so inspired you see. Even Dotty Maureen, who doesn't like working with scraps and certainly not with radical designs, so she says, has actually produced some amazing blocks.. look at the picture, fabulous colours... I know it's a funny angle... there were too many to get in the picture really, please take note of how many tables she used, hmmmm.


Lacey Anne joined us this afternoon. She told us how she had thoroughly enjoyed our workshop too, and had continued working on the blocks at home. Obviously she has been busy, look how fabulous, completely different colours, a unique design, I guess most are unique though...
Wendy made / is making both of the quilt tops in the next two picture, she has made gaziiiiiiiillions of half square triangles, fully inspired by Katharine Guerrier. The tops are still works in progress, I have to tell you... I'm loving them... aren't you? Wendy says she will probably continue to make this kind of quilt ... in-between all of her other fansastic, often more complex quilts...
... it's the making of the Half Square Triangles that's great... not too much thinking about them... just steady production... mindless sewing... Sometimes (lots of times I'm thinking) we just need to produce things, to clear our mind and sort out bothering thoughts and stuff... and... oh, yes, let's not forget..., making them to avoid the chores, of course!! ha ha ha

Great results. I keep telling myself to make something from her book, now I feel inspired.
