Baby Quilt
Brenda has also been making a cot quilt for her new Grand Daughter.
Brenda hasn't made a cot quilt like this before so she was trying out
new techniques and stitches.

Busy Sewing
We are starting to call Sylvia an 'Elf'.
In the nicest possible way of course as she comes to class with a
bags full of goodies she has made or has been finishing off.
She is also making her Christmas presents each month and as they seem
to be seven or eight at a time due to her many friends,
hence the term Elf!
The little gift purses are ideal for a gift card, jewellery, small
gift and a little note. Each are unique and they are
beautifully finished with the embellished fasteners.
I have been encouraging the finish of items especially with
fasteners. You can make an item look far more by
adding just simple finishes touches such as,
instead of just sewing a pop stud on. It makes an
item look hand made. If you decorate a circle
of felt or fabric and then sew the pop stud onto this it
makes the item look more crafted and expensive.
It also draws less attention to the press stud!
Which often because of its nature stands out in not a good way!
Sylvia had also made a Kindle Bag and Cot Quilt for a
new baby!
Busy lady and a lovely Elf!

Memory Quilt
I often get asked to make items from clothing as Memory Keepsakes.
This cot quilt and bear are Memory keepsakes but are little different.
The grandma of the new baby girl who has just arrived,
asked if I could make a Cot Quilt and Bear from her son's
favourite shirts.
Sadly, he died last year from a brain tumour.
He knew he was going to be a Dad so it made it a very
special commission for me.
It was also difficult emotional cutting the shirts up but
once they started forming into a cot quilt and bear they
made me smile. I am sure the new little girl is going to love them.
I also made a small hand bear that can be sucked, chewed and washed.
Best wishes to all.

Monday Quilts
On Monday I put the borders and the border batting and backing
fabric on The Sampler Quilt.
I also made a Hungry Caterpillar quilt top out of
the panels and fabric I had left over from making my first
Hungry Caterpillar Quilt.

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.

Gallery Tuesday 24th May 2011
Sylvia is trimming the free machined quilted cot quilt for her
future Great Grand Child.
She began classes in January for the sole purpose
of making a quilt for her expected Great Grand Child then.
She made a beautiful animal quilt and it was given to her
new Great Grand Daughter.
The next month a large envelope arrived in the post
with lots of bits of yellow fabric and some animal squares,
with the plea from her other Grand Daughter who was
expecting.
"Please can you finish this I don't know what to do!"
Sylvia laughed and we made sense of the odd
cut strips and patches already cut out and she put it
all together as you can see above.
I few bits of piecing had to go on for the back!
Sylvia loves Machine Quilting and it looks really great.
It's having red bias binding to finish it off.
A very lovely Great Grandma Gift!

Finished Quilt
Just look at Sylvia's first quilt!
Finished and labelled.
"Made with Love by Great Grandma".
An heirloom for the future.
Made in time for her new Great Grand Child, that's soon on it's way.
She's also crocheting a baby shawl.
A very lucky baby.
I always love to see the finished work and it's wonderful
to share.
Well done! Sylvia.

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.

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!
