Stitching News

The pesky P is back. No-one knew where it disappeared to or why it wouldn't work. Eventually, I could type nothing but the pesky P, which was a bit weird. It was typing it's very own self in all the searching things. Spooky!!
We've had a busy couple of weeks in the classroom and shop, yes it is an excuse!

Christabelle sent this photo of her finished Stack-n-Whack Kaleidoscope quilt, complete with the wonderful, Faux Pipped Binding. There's a lot of extra fussy cutting in this quilt, all the little squares are identical on each block. The borders are all the same too, an excellent job.
This is a picture taken in my shop, obviously. You can see the quilting while it was in progress, lots of free motion. The lovely blue Moda Grunge background is a better colour in this photo and those orange-y bits, wow, do they pop.Toot toot toot Christabelle, an absolutely fabulous and finished quilt, already gifted and loved.

Gail has just a few more stitches of quilting to be done on this lovely baby gifting quilt. We won't see it again though as it's going to it's tiny, little new owner before we see Gail again. It's very cute, fabulous and aaaaaalmost finished, so we can raise the trumpets a little early, Toot toot toot.

This is Jackie's first large quilt. Almost all of the fabrics are from a few of Moda's French General collections. She learned a lot of top tips while making the quilt with all of it's Hour Glass blocks. Toot toot toot Jackie, a fabulous and finished, rather scrumptious quilt. The next project will be even larger. It's safe to say, Jackie fell, hook, line and sinker over to our dark side, where there's always a warm welcome!

Preparations are going well with the folk who are joining us on the retreat in March. Some, those who live a little closer to my emporium, have been popping in to buy essentials, very exciting.
I made a final decision on my retreat project, which is hilarious because I made that decision three more times. Yes. I'm taking 4 projects!!! I'll never learn.
It's not to late to join us for 4 wonderful days of stitchiness!

A reminder, with no apology!

Plus, My shop doesn't open on Mondays.
