Quilting

Sorry this blog has been somewhat neglected. It seems when I am at home I can find no end of work to fill my time. Time to bog mostly come up when I am out and about these days. Today I am sitting in a car park waiting to teach machine quilting so it's appropriate that the images I have for you are the quilting on one of the quilt's I've entered into the Sandown show. The quilt is quilted with alternating feathers and background fillers. The top must have been waiting a year for me to have time to quilt it and I had fun with it when I finally got to it. There will be a couple of new quilts from me at Sandown, so keep your eyes open for them.

It's half term for my regular classes so I decided it was time for me to work on something of my own. I've been putting off my new wholecloth until I had the zippers on the frame. I know this quilt will take a lot of time so I have to be able to take it off the frame and do customer work in between. I had planned it to be a square quilt about 100" but the hand dyed cloth is too good to cut so it has ended up a slightly larger rectangle. After three days solid work I am just over half way putting in only the big motifs. I love it but it won't be quick. I am hoping it might be done for the Harrogate show in September but I won't promise anything. If I miss that deadline I should have it done for the Scottish show.
