Friday Quilting

Jenny Barlaston is the owner of this master piece... what an unusual design eh... Of course we all look at this quilt and see the Quick Table Topper we all keep making... it's the same method... but much more intricate of course. It's a great design for those fabrics we want to leave in big pieces, like this blue Clarice Cliffe fabric Jenny bought last year...
Charlotte had joined us on Wednesday for the first time and popped in on Friday to show us her progress. All blocks were completed so she could start stitching them together. She chose her border fabrics, backing and binding fabrics and purchased a piece of the gorgeous Cream Rose wadding... she wants this quilt finished yesterday! ha ha ha

Barbie had more troubles with her Brother sewing machine, every week she has trouble with the darn thing... I got out one of the Juki machines so that she could get a little stitching done... oh did she love the machine... no tension problems at all, so Barbie was a happy lady. She's shadow quilting round the vase of flowers and it looks fab...
Helen worked without a break, she's on a mission to finish all of these heavily patterned triangular blocks... I think she's intent on racing ahead while Maid Marion is on her holidays.. We won't tell Helen that Maid Marion took her stitching with her, he he he It will be fun to see how far they both get in the two weeks...
I know I'm behind with the posts, I don't know where all the hours go these days.... more later
