Strip Patchwork

Brenda, in between making crazy patchwork cushions for her family

decided to make a Knitting Needle Roll Case for her friends birthday.

My finished one is on the top of her strip patchwork.

This strip patchwork is the base for the roll case.

Students ask me for ideas and often I have an item in mind

and can show them for inspiration.

I think it is always good to see the actual item in front

of you so you can see and be shown how to make it.

Gallery day 14th June 2011

Gallery Day was a bit quiet this week as some of the group

were on holiday.

Pat and Sylvia took the opportunity to work on the machines and

get to grips with new techniques.

The patchwork square above is 19" by 19" and

was made out of the scraps from one of my 50p bags.

It took Sylvia an hour to choose where to put the pieces

and sew it together which seemed like magic to the others!

Sylvia loves patchwork and is now enjoying real

high colour in her work.

I wonder where that comes from?

Jack's Quilt

You saw the pile of fabrics I had collected together

on a previous post? Here is Jack's Quilt pieced together.

It is now ready for quilting.

The inspiration for the colours and design came from

the Blue and Green Quillow on the right of this post.

I took it outside to photograph because I couldn't

get higher enough to photograph all of it.

Jack's Quilt is a large single.
