Market Bosworth Festival

The Festival was a great success this year. It was lovely to meet some of my blog readers... you know who you are.

Above is a photo of Helen Rhodes who was demonstrating in the Bosworth gallery. She's so nice and produces great work - do have a look at her website.

Here's a photo of the Town Crier - not sure where he was from, but he looked very smart in his outfit.

And here is the lovely Bee Design stand. She also makes great paper products.

I wanted to show you the quilt Phyllis made using Edwina's 'cut and come again' method. It was very popular with visitors.

I thought you'd like to see some of the work completed by some of the ladies who were beginners and are now producing great work. If you'd like to know more about classes drop me a line and I'll forward you details on. Don't worry I don't teach - the lovely Linda does.

Here is my small contribution to the show. At long last I finished hand quilting with a seed stitch and got the binding finished and even a sleeve on. I'm really pleased wit the results.

And finally a lovely quilt by Angela.

So - hope you all had a good weekend. We raised loads of money - over £1,500 which we've donated to the Samaritans, the local Guides and the local Scouts Group.

See you all soon.

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.

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...

Finished!!!

As you can see I did have some 'help' with my 'Sunburst' quilt. Fluff decided one evening that it was hers and no-one else was going to get near it. As you can see it's done - and I feel a bit sad because I thought it would take longer and I've got nothing to hand quilt. But unlike the last HUGE one this one measure approximately 61 x 50 inches. It was machine pieced and hand quilted in the ditch with YLI variegated thread - called Sunset... I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. Thanks to all of you for the good wishes you sent for both my birthday and anniversary. DH is now very keen to read any comments on the blog as he seems to think they're all going to be about him. LOL . Thanks
