Sewing retreat

Hello everyone. I hope you've made the most of another Bank Holiday. I've been very lucky and have been at a sewing retreat.  It's great fun - an opportunity to sew and socialise and learn new things. So here are some photos of what I got up to: Still to be quilted but nice bright cushion covers  A 'doodle cushion' which looks very complicated but as it was well thought out was actually as easy or as hard as you wanted to make it  Disappearing nine patch with a lovely charm pack - Persimmon by Moda, plus a few of my own and the spotty fabric to pull it all together.  Cut and come again - a workshop by Edwina Mackinnon which I keep on at. I really like the results. And finally a bowl I am very very pleased with. The original fabric was truly horrendous and this is a massive improvement. Now there was a catastrophic event on the retreat. My machine broke on Saturday morning - not even...

Busy busy busy

Hello all. I hope you're all well. Apologies that I haven't posted for a little while.  I've been really busy - lots of classes and a sewing retreat too! So here are a few things I've been up to. Firstly I had a great time on a  Pauline Verrinder  class.  Tried lots of new things that I hope to finish.  Here they are - work in progress :  And last weekend I had a great time at a sewing retreat.  I took some projects along that needed finishing off.  It was lovely to meet up with friends and have a good catch up and lots of time sewing with someone else sorting out all your meals. So - been very busy. Take care all.

More stuff from Quorn

I'm so glad you enjoyed looking at the quilts in the same pattern - but different colours. I hope you like the other examples here in the All Star jelly roll quilt. Anyway - next week is the Festival of Quilts at the NEC . Are any of you going? I'm there on Friday and Saturday so hope to see some of you there. Have a good weekend

Sparkling Jelly

I thought I'd share some of the quilts that were made at sewing camp. All these ones are a pattern called Sparkling jelly and you'll see what a huge difference colour selection makes. It also shows what great quilts you can make with a jelly roll. Have a good weekend.
