Only a small class for the last one of this year but it was a pleasant day, except for the mask wearing that is, what a palava it is.
Deb got all her blocks joined together so she was able to make a fabulous piece for the backing and made good use of the spare table to make her sandwich. A big job over sewing prevention season now... the quilting! This is only Deb's second project, the fist was a table runner but she's keen and will do a great job.
Cheryl had a lot of circles to sew around, thank goodness for the Juki DX7 and it's hover foot... makes applique so much easier, especially circles...
The book is Organic Applique so, armed with a picture and a pair of scissors, Cheryl planned her little trees and branches. Some of us would be challenged without strict instruction... not Cheryl!
While the other ladies got on with their sewing and in between questions and helping, I was able to make a good dent in hand stitching this binding... it's a huge quilt and I'm sure it's 3 miles round. About 1 mile left to do now.
This is an 'Eye Spy' quilt. A shop sample that I got made up to the sandwich stage during the Cromford retreat. It's now Finally, aaaaaalmost quilted so that's a new one for you to be inspired by in the new year.
Another commissioned project is on the design wall...
More on this later though, I hope!
