Irene's Quilt

Irene makes some amazing things and here is one of her quilts.

This one has been sewn together and unpicked and then sewn

together and then unpicked again, I don't know how many times

before she was pleased with the corners and points!

We all think it's fantastic but you know how some projects just get you

when you are in the thick of them and just don't go right?

You go off them!

Irene is hand quilting it at the moment.

Keep going it' wonderful!

All Was Quiet Then A Quilt Got Put Together

The Textile Thursday started off with 'Show and Tell' and

creativity and then Janet said,

"I am ready to put my quilt together".

So all hands on deck to move the tables around and then

the very large quilt sandwich began.

Lots of pins and laughter later patchwork becomes a quilt

and is ready for the quilting together.

The back was turned over to check, no wrinkles and admire

the handy work.

It is a reversible quilt for Janet's Grand daughter and we are

so proud of Janet because it is her first.

It is amazing.

Patchwork Box Cover

Liz has done some really big projects over

the last couple of years. 

A kings sized quilt for her daughter in Australia.

A Comfy Chair Cover and here a Patchwork Box Cover for her

Fathers Travel Trunk.

She loves designing the 3D items!

An inspiration.

Skull and Cross Bone Quilt

Another Anne made a Skull and Cross Bone Quilt for her Grand Son.

This is Anne's second quilt!

The quilting is all different sizes of skulls!

So really well done!

Anne learnt so many new techniques and she is now starting a

red and white stitched quilt.

Jamila and Janice

Jamila visited the studio for the first time on Friday 23rd March and helped Janice and myself pin Janice's quilt together ready for quilting. The quilt is an amazing feet of patience. It was a lovely morning and after lunch Jamila showed me her City and Guilds  textile project, a bag which she had designed and woven the fabric and then decorated with at least 100 Dorset Buttons. A beautiful and imaginative design based on the Textile Mills in the North of England. Jamila is finishing her Long Distance C&G shortly, theres all the paper work to file in order! Lovely!!!
I hope to be able to offer long distance City and Guilds course shortly.
