Will's Quilt

On Friday Afternoon I put the pieces for a

new Quilt Commission on the studio table.

The blocks are 8" square.

I managed to sew up five of the rows.

This is for a teenage boy called Will

and is based on the pennant triangle.

Lily Wall Hanging

The classroom at Knit Wits needs a quilt for the wall.

I am using fabrics that have just come into the shop.

So on Friday morning I cut out the pieces, arranged them

and started piecing them together.

Knit Wits Classes

I had my first Evening Teaching at Knit Wits this

week and it was a wonderful night.

Most of the ladies wanted to make the,

Folded Japanese Bags and they looked great.

Others were starting their quilts and projects.

Time went so quick I didn't remember to take photos.

On Thursday, the day classes were the 'Folded Bag'.

I forgot my phone and as I use it to take photos I was

really upset as students came back and they had brought

their finished needlecases and projects and

they were great. So were all the variations on the bags.

Note to self, "don't leave the house with the phone

still on charge!!!".

I have added another Monday a month at

Knit Wits for more projects and finishing.

As you can see there is now a bed in the window

of the shop so it will need quilts.

Committee meeting

On Wednesday 14th of September I had several appointments

and I was teaching evening class at Knit Wits.

I am a new member of The Quilters Guild Region Nine Committee.

We met at Betty Stacey's home,

(Thank you, to Betty for your hospitality).

Before the meeting started Betty Ball

showed us her Quilters Washings line that

had been hanging in the museum garden as

an environmental art project.

Betty had a little fun with us and then showed us

how the fabric had faded with the original fabric colours

and how they had changed.

It had held up really well considering it

was hanging outside for 9 months!

I love the Region's Wall Hanging above.

Visit our Quilters Guild page and keeping looking in, as

I am now The Region Nine Web page administrator.

Sylvia Fan Patchwork Tablecloth

Sylvia has finished her Grandmother Fan Lace Tablecloth.

It looks fantastic!

Here Sylvia is showing us where her own made

crochet lace is and where the different heirloom lace is on

her tablecloth.

We all admired it along with visiting customers.

Well done Sylvia!

Sylvia's inspiration was my Heirloom Lace Tablecloth.

Pat's Mixed Media Textiles

Pat has made some amazing mixed media textiles

since coming along to The Gallery on a Tuesday.

She brings her skills as an artist and translates

them now into different media.

The one directly above uses the fabric that

came around a bunch of flowers!

We recycle everything and anything to help

II th of September 2011

I am a week behind with posting and the 11th of September

is always a hard day even though it's my Birthday.

Thank you to everyone who sent me such lovely cards and

messages. I celebrate my day either side.

See my day out HERE

My husband was a fireman for 25 years and I was a

nurse and medic so the events of 911 is to heart.

I have posted a video of the Boat Rescue that day on

my tech site it is narrated by Tom Hanks.

Judy posted it on Facebook, so I thank her

also for her awareness.
