Stitching News

I've had quite a few deliveries this week. Just as I got the shop looking tidy in came the boxes. 

Another lot of the very popular, Tilda bundles... 
I don't stock much Tilda fabric on bolts, but I love these beauties. 
10 Fat Quarters in each bundle, co-ordinated, pretty and fun!

Applique usually gives instant gratification... For Patchwork, We chop up fabrics into little pieces and pile them up ready for stitching together but we don't get to see a block until it's all pieced together. With applique, we cut out shapes, we glue and stick a picture and Boom!! there is is, happy progress... then we sew. This is Princess Jackie's new project, so pretty.

Left overs... Our Pam is super chuffed to have a quilt top and an empty plastic box. It all takes time, of course. There are mathemisms involved when you are using bits and bobs.. but this time it all worked out great. And I got a sale because Pam had to purchase backing, ha ha ha.

Rose has this Spring project sorted, it's had a ot of 'free-wheeling'. She doesn't know whether it's quite finished, in fact I'm sure there will be further embellishment added, probably hand stitching. The Summer version in the set has started, so it's back to the tricky curved piecing for a bit...
