Slowly back to normal.

We are back in the mood for sewing now, some of the ladies 
went to the show at Sandbach. Coming back with lots of
new fabrics and ideas. I spent most time over the holidays
sewing 1/2 sq. triangles. just because I need to use up stuff.
As I have only been quilting since 2009 I'm surprised how
much fabric I have left from projects. Angie told me once
that I pay the same price for scraps so dont throw them 
away. I now believe that the scraps actually go forth and 
multiply when they are left in boxes.I want to make at

 least 1 scrappy quilt a month this year.   we'll see!
Final side of Kate's beautiful quilt, this really has been
a labour of love. It was started as a workshop
project. Just like Topsy it grew and grew. Just beautiful.

Annette's baby quilt ,these are left overs from the previous
 quilt , just needed to rearrange positions a bit and
sew sew them altogether.

Kate's charm square gift quilt is about to be quilted.
A lovely choice of fabrics.

Margarets beautiful wedding cushion, including
some very delicate sequins, a thoughtful gift
for any couple.

As I said at the beginning my 1/2 sq. triangles. 1 of the 3
designs I have on the go. I have single stars to go around the
centers, when I can buy more of the background fabric.
Very unusual for me to run out, but yet again 1 lap quilt
grew into a single size{hopefully}

Better late than never.

Marion has made this quilt for her new great grandson.
 I think that any little boy would love to drive cars on
this track. 

The reverse is also looking good.

Marisabel is appliqueing her ducks before sewing a
contrasting border around each one. such a nice
 looking duck design.




These are Kate's finished baby quilts all ready to gift
for the imminent births.

This is Marions left over quilt. All the fabric was the
remains of her Kaffe Fasset quilt. The amount was greatly
over estimated . she now has two for the price of one.

Lynda has made this lovely little girls quilt. very much
like liberty fabrics. Purchased from the Dunhelm sale.

Chris has appliqued the teddy bears before using
this lovely rainbow sashing.

A lovely charm pack Xmas pressie quickly assembled
by Kate.

A super cup cake quilt made by margery.


Another dolly dress up quilt by Margery, all hand quilted.

This is my latest block .I need 4, each star
comes from a 5in sq. So 8 fat quarters and the white
background. Each block measures almost 27 in.
So 4 blocks should work out 54 sq.without
borders.
