Bramble Patch & Open Studiio

Hello all,
I had a lovely day yesterday at the Bramble Patch visiting Bren Boardman in her Open Studio and I was also lucky to be able to see the 2012 Showcase where the theme was Bletchley Park.
 So here is Bren talking to one of the visitors. 
 And here is a great piece of work by Sarah Showers who is also exhibiting at Festival of Quilts.  The stitching is very interesting - lots of variety of stitch and thread.
  And here is a selection of Bren's students work - lots of lovely sketchbooks to look at. 
And here - at long last - is my mystery quilt finally finished my hand quilting. Having stitched just inside the stars I needed to tie in another area of the quilt so quilted just inside the squares - I think it works quite well.  So my favourite thing next - binding.
Enjoy the sunshine and the closing ceremony of the Olympics.
Hope to see some of you at the Festival of Quilts - looks like it should be very good.

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...

How exciting

Hello all. I had a very nice e-mail yesterday telling me I was in October's British Patchwork & Quilting magazine as their featured blog of the month. And yes I'm there on page 68. A very nice surprise as I had no idea my little old blog would make a national publication. So if any of you are looking at my blog for the first time please do leave a comment - I'd love to hear from you.
