Saturday Sewday was super busy. Folk working on their own projects while making lists of "I want to make that like hers!!!" it's very inspiring stitching in company isn't it. Not only do we stitch a lot but we laugh a load too. Excellent therapy!
Merlot had purchased a pattern for this Union Jack on T'Interweb. The pattern was a bit vague but, as Louise has already conquered Foundation Paper Piecing previously, she was still able to make it. It looks great doesn't it... Moda Grunge Glitter fabric for the White bits makes it magical... There will be more Union Jacks made for sure.
We had two new victims come to dabble... This beginner cushion, made with four different fabrics not the usual three fat Quarters, made by Jane who hasn't used a sewing machine before... my Juki DX7 made it easier!
A very impressive covered zip backing to boot.
Toot toot toot Jane, a fabulous and finished, first ever patchwork cushion.
Jane's Mum, Penny came at the very same time to have her very own dabble into patchwork and quilting. She was impressed by Jacquie's Sunflower cushion (a previous post) using just one main fabric so that's what she chose, obviously not the sunflower fabric...
The most beautiful fabric...(Norma checked out the last bit on the bolt when she saw it, so be warned) Extremely stylish red piping on the zip panel... gosh we do make great cushions!!! Toot toot toot Penny, a fabulous and finished cushion.
Lou Lou has fledged from the quilting nest, whoop whoop. Since she became a Grandma she seems to have started understanding what she's doing... and she's as amazed as we are!! This very pretty Tilda fabric cushion is proof and evidence, it's looking lovely as a sandwich, the quilting has commenced too.
Debs saw a previous post about Jan's diagonal-ized (I know, but I've said it... so now it is a word!) quilt design and decided it was just what she wanted for her lap quilt. She set about drawing a few guide lines and that was her set for the day... it does look great doesn't it.
I hope you will be pleased to know that I have 20 ladies booked for our Pilgrimage to the Festival Of Quilts on 21st August. There's still plenty of space on the coach if you would like to book a seat for your very own self or why not go with a friend or two.
