A lovely day sewing...

I've had a lovely day today sewing with the Rocheberie Schoolhouse Quilters. It's always nice to catch up with such lovely quilters and bloggers:
There was a great speaker as well - Gail Lawther. She described the influence her visits to New Zealand had had on her and also showed us the great work she'd produced. As you can see I just had to buy the book.
We were also very lucky as we got a Christmas pressie too - a charm pack of lovely fabrics. I'm afraid the cake we had didn't last long enough for me to take a photo of - but I can assure you it was very very nice (and a very generous slice it was too).
So all in all a great day. As you can see from the photos below there were lots of us there.

Whooosh talk about quick posting!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the day. It was a bumper meeting and everyone seems to have really enjoyed themselves. Gail was lovely to listen too and her New Zealand talk was very inspiring.

I'm glad you enjoyed the day - I was pretty shattered afterwards, never seen it so busy but very 'buzzy' and enjoyable. I had to have that Gail Lowther book too!!

I was really impressed with Gail’s interpretation of what she'd seen in New Zealand - I might have to set our group a challenge for our exhibition in 2011. LOL they love it when I get mad ideas...

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

At long last ......

At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
