No Photos

My camera and laptop are not talking to each other at 

the moment so I cannot show you what I have been stitching.

But I have been stitching.

Caswell quilt block 8 is done and I have started

block 9

I have taken the plunge with the farmers wife

and begun machine quilting. Quite a task given the 

size of this quilt but little by little 

I will get it done.

The Folly is also getting closer to being a completed quilt.

I just love hand quilting this quilt.

Hopefully photos soon

Happy stitching jenni

New Project

The Farmers Wife is pin basted and

waiting to be quilted

I have not decided how I will tackle this yet

It will just have to sit awhile,

That means I need a new project for 

my Thursday sit and sew afternoons

This is what I have chosen

It's a Robyn Falloon quilt from this book.

and I have made a start, pinned in place ready for 

this weeks sewing.

Farmers Wife

I thought it about time to share with you 

 a farmers wife update.

only a few setting triangles to go in

and the border.

I have decided on one large[very large]

border. Between 8 and 10 inches wide with

mitred corners

It will be a very large quilt.

Time to start thinking of the next project.

I like to have something just for my

thursday sewing group.

I have it narrowed down to a couple 

of different ideas, but not fabric has

been cut yet.

2 posts in 1

I need to catch up, no post last week 

so it is a double dose this week.

Firstly and very importantly

I have a little Ta Da

 

I have started the Caswell Quilt

block A1 is done

only 29 to go

block A2 is prepped and ready to go.

Next onto this weeks post

Saturday I had a day out to the Lang Lang quilt show

I took the scenic tourist route and found a 

fantastic quilt shop on the way at Korumburra.

I think this shop will feature in my future

lots of great reproduction fabrics and some of the

best display quilts ever.

After quite a long time spent in Korumburra

 it was back on the road to find Lang Lang.

An interesting show with lots of traders,

tables and chairs everywhere for people to have

cups of tea and a few quilts.

Of course I have photos of my favourite quilts.

This one has an interesting centre panel,

but the piecing around it was perfect and really

made the quilt.

I think I have a similar panel tucked away somewhere

just waiting for inspiration.

The colours don't show up well but this quilt

 would have won viewer choice for sure.

thirdly not a large quilt but it really appealed to me

now it's time to get back to the next Caswell Quilt block
