Here are two pics of the last quilts Jeanette finished..... "I rather like 3D things. It was basically red scraps.
Yesterday I was inspired to finish filling all the gaps and joining up the Ohio Star quilt top. It is not quite one piece yet but I hope you like it.
It was mathematically challenging working in units of 3" then counting how many lots of 3" were in each row. I did not want to make it a simple grid and think I have succeeded. Each row will be 12" finished.
I have no time to finish it up today but it should be a finished flimsy by the end of the week ready for decisions about borders etc. If you'd like to be part of that process just book a day with me via email or phone.
I hope everyone is coping with the bargello block.
Carol has put borders on our Winding Ways quilt. How stunning!
Once Carol delivers it I'd love some help making the quilt sandwich if anyone is willing to come and tack. Just ring or email to find out if I have it yet.
I was disappointed to miss out on Friday’s chat – hope everyone was well and had interesting show and tell.
As I mentioned I have joined a group called Uniforms for Kids who convert redundant uniforms from various services and makes clothes, bags etc to be handed back to each service who provided the uniforms for distribution in remote and underprivileged communities. Attached is a photo of my first effort made out of fabric from a police officer’s shirt.
Also attached is a photo of my piece ‘created’ at a recent workshop – I really enjoyed this as you are only limited by your imagination and embroidery skills plus you get to use those pretty bits and pieces you tend to keep thinking one day they will be useful.
