All Pink

Sara has been working on her themed pieces of textile and

as you can see they are Pink, flowered and with

additional butterflies.

Above, is Sara's first go at strip patchwork and

free machine quilting, as you can see it looks really good.

The embellished piece is going to cover a notebook.

Nikki's Waistcoat

Nikki has been working on her Alpaca Tweed Waistcoat

for several months. Nearing the finishing line

it was the waistcoat hem and buttonholes this week.

Just removing tacks, lining hem and press finishing.

It looks really stylish!

Well done Nikki! for your patience and perseverance.

It was supposed to be a beginners waistcoat but with

a cowl collar and made in alpaca it has had its

challenges.

Transfer onto Fabric

Each week there are many different techniques

being tried at the Gallery Textile Sessions

and this week it was the different ways

you can transfer designs onto fabric.

The top was a transfer of Sara's artwork,

very modern and Pat's is the

1930's Doves.

Watch this site for more transfer work shortly.

Gallery Tuesday 4th October 2011

So many different projects are being made @ The Gallery

'Textile Tuesdays' sesssions.

Above, is a green striped cushion made by Barbara and

a Christmas Runner made out of scraps by Beryl.

Even though some of the patterns are used they

always look different!

Monday at Knit Wits

I am now doing an extra Monday at

Knit Wits at the beginning of the month.

It was a lovely morning with a quilt being put

together, folded bags and a fancy Union Jack Cushion.

In the afternoon I finished my Japanese Bag from

the Saturday Workshop and had a good

browse of the lovely new fabrics that Fiona

has ordered in.

Nicole's Christening Quilt and Cushion

On the Sunday I finished putting Nicole's quilt together

and Jenn made Nicole a cushion to match.

They really look good together if I do

say so myself!

I love making baby quilts in between

projects and larger quilts.
