We had a lovely day on Sunday. A one day sewing retreat is a perfect tonic. We had a full house (hall) and lots of different projects were being worked on and, generally, everyone's happy to be interrogated about them too. We love to share and borrow ideas don't we! Our next Sunday Funday Sewday will be on March 26th and there are only a few places left.
Back in my shop
After a productive day of sewing at Checkley, Norma stitched the final borders onto her enormous quilt. Made mostly with fabrics from a couple of Tilda bundles. It really is huge, I couldn't fit the whole quilt top in my picture. it's going off to Amanda in Stone to be quilted
You can see the colours better on this shot. It is the wrong way up, I see that now but you get the drift. Next time we see this quilt Norma will be stitching binding on, 200 metres should do it!
Rose purchased this Moda Safari Charm Pack, she does like a quick make.
It was so funny trying to choose the layout as every time we moved similar colours apart the designs were the same, it didn't stay like this picture either, we played "Switchy-Switchy", it's Charm Pack game!!
This is why Norma had been rushing to finish her Tilda Quilt. She had purchased a Beautiful Batik Fat Quarter Bundle recently and has been itching to get on with cutting them up and designing her next quilt. LARGE 18" blocks so she will only need 16 of them. only 256 Half Square Triangles!!
Tina had done her homework and arrived ready to make her first quilt sandwich. We chatted about quilting ideas and soon she was shadow quilting around the stripes. Tying off ends and threading them through to be buried, when she could find them. Sewing with black thread can be tricky, ha!
