Hello It's Autumn

 Yes - it's autumn. 
And this morning started a big misty - which meant I could see lots of cobwebs.
 Lots of leaves are turning red too.
  I had a class with Angie Hughes last week.  A class with Angie is always good.  
We started off by free machining basic patterns and shapes.  I used a different colour top and bottom.  I really liked the effect it gave. 

 Angie showed us her sample book.  they look really good against black paper.  But again - it shows that you need to make a sample book... 


 Angie made a landscape - which she was going to cut up and use on cards - a great way to make samples and make good use of them.
Here's Angie's picture.  It's a landscape.
Mine looks less like a landscape - much more abstract.  Still lots to do on it.
Have a great weekend (what's left of it).

Dennis...

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.
