Stitching News

 

Pam got all of the units sewn together, what a smashing quilt this is! There are still a couple of borders to be added but Pam's put it on one side now to get her Savanah Quilt finished, what with the Uttoxeter Quilt show looming... it's got to be finished in time.

Our Carol also got the counting units stitched together. What a fabulous learning aid this is. The funny thing is, to me... all the bits in the picture look larger than they did when Carol was cutting and sticking them, weird!! 

Judy loves a challenge. She likes thinking about her stitching in great detail so I challenged her to make some more intricate blocks... she nailed it didn't she, I'm loving the colours too. These are the practice blocks. Now Judy will move on to her 'bestest' fabric

More units all sewn together... Rose not only joined hers together,  she got the borders on and to the sandwich making too. She's looking forward to the quilting and she planned quite a lot of detail embellishing.

Gail made small sandwiches and very smart backings for her Cushions, that little pop of turquoise trim lights up the concealed zip flap, we are getting more adventurous with the cushion flaps aren't we!

Gail made two of these pretty purple-y cushion sandwiches too, such productive production Gail!!!

Christabelle had all of her preparation done by the end of the day so there will no doubt be a sandwich making session soon. This quilt is a request from granddaughter Tabitha and there's another quilt to design for her sister, Kitty. I think they will be the same but a bit different..

Bev did well didn't she!!Excellent Half Square Triangle-ing.
This is the start of a Hedgehog Quilt... 
I know, but you will have to wait to see how that will work!

Susan is another lady who enjoys a challenge... 
All those curves!!
This will be an exciting watch, the flowers will be blooming into life

Love those counting blocks - is that a pattern or Carol's original design?
