Show and tell

Some finishes, and some works in progress ...

Jan could not resist this gorgeous fabric for a
dress for her little granddaughter - bet she
loves it too! It has a beautiful big flouncy
bow on the half belt that ties at the back.

A couple of weeks ago Daphne had finished all the blocks 

for this quilt (several years in the making), and was stuck 

for enough black fabric to put them together. All solved for 

a vibrant finish worth waiting for! 

Design by Chris Jurd, loads of foundation piecing for precision.


Miriam's latest (top) finish - snowballs with some tricky
matching of the corners to make the diamonds,
just requires careful layout before joining.

It all started wth the rhubarb  Rowan Collective fabric,
and the four Senoritas ...

Julie is carefully following Tamsin Harvey's fusible applique
pattern from her 2015 book 'Constantinople Quilts. This is the
first of eight repeats making a large circle.

We often see quilts that Yvette has quilted for others, so
it was a treat to see two of Yvette's own quilts recently.
First up, pastels for a baby.

Then, precision piecing! Yvette foundation pieced all the 

points in her striking geometic quilt. Those flying geese

 angles are more demanding than usual ...


 ... and quilted it with contrasting but gentle curves.
