Baby Quilt and Tea

Pat finished her Baby Quilt for her new Grand Son and popped in

on her way down to visit so we saw it finished.

As you can see in the background, it was break time

and everyone had come down to the Cafe' area to have

tea and cake!

We are sampling the different cakes and they have

been delicious. I personal recommend the lemon drizzle.

Textile Tuesday 14th February 2012

Pat is one of my students who has been coming along

to Textile Tuesday @The Gallery for the last 2 years.

She is a Mixed Media Artist and is wanting to get to

know Patchwork and Quilting a little better.

She has mixed up her medias in the Crazywork Patchwork

square above and

Pat also has a new Great Grandson on the way

so, is busy getting him a quilt ready.

As usual though, when we do 'Show and Tell',

students are really hard on themselves and

show their mistakes to the group before they

take in the admiration from the group.

I encourage more patting on the back then criticism.

We all know you learn by your mistakes as much as your

successes but sometimes it's nice to just take the

project in, know where you could have improved or where

you would do it in a different way next time.

Happy Creating!

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.

Coven Quilters

I was at Weeting Quilt Group for most of the day,

machine quilting as quick as I could so I could take

my lap quilt to Coven Quilters in the evening and

hand sew the bias binding on!

I feel so lucky with what I am able to do at the moment.

Mixing work with friendship and pleasure.

We met at Jane's and were automatically

drawn to sitting in the conservatory overlooking

her wonderful garden.

Catching up and show and tell.

Above are Baby and Cot Quilts ready for the new

arrivals made by Jane.

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!!!!

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!
