Pink Number Quilt

There, as I promised, a pink version of the "Number Quilt".

I've made two of these, one with a triangle border (above) and one with

a stripey border. I will machine stipple quilt them.

It has been good to work with these pink range of fabrics.

A colour, I don't normally use in textiles especially of this type.

They will be for sale.

One on my website and one @ The Gallery.

Number Quilt

I have been demonstrating how to make a small quilts week by week since I

started at The Gallery over a year ago and as I finish one

someone falls in love with it and it goes to a new home.

I have made them in various colours and themes.

I have made two of these colourful "Number Quilts" and are

in the process of quilting one and putting the finishing touches to

the other.

These ones are definitely for boys with animals

and tractors on them.

I think I will then start some "pink" ones next!!!!

Bolliwood Turrets

Jeanette's been doing more work on her 3D "Bolliwood"
inspired piece and now it's down to assembling and
adding the embellishments.
The picture does'nt do justice to the work in each piece,

Cot Quilt

Sylvia's one of our new ladies and last week she made a

needlecase. Her first real 'go' at patchwork.

This week she mastered the Rotary Cutter by cutting out

all her squares and sewing them together for a cot quilt.

She's a lady on a mission as her new great grand child is due

in February and wants the quilt finished to hand it over

when they arrive. She does't know whether it's going

to be a boy or girl so has chosen vibrant colours to be on

the safe side!

I must say as well, Sylvia used up the fabrics

she had and some she had been given.

I love to do this and it is often more of a challenge.

Wow, Sylvia what a morning, you got so much done!

Kimono

Carols all fired up for more patchwork and Quilting

and is making a miniature Kimono, using my full size

version as inspiration.

Her fabrics are beautiful and vibrant.

The flying geese sections are going to be very tiny!

A good challenge!
