Results of the Fun Day







Well this is my version before quilting, very pleased with the result.  It was quick too, I had thought that all that cathedral window would take forever but it was quite therapeutic sitting down of an evening doing it.

I hope to get it quilted along with last years Santa and the Reindeer, in time for this Christmas…….??????

Stitching Fun Day

Tomorrow will be spent having fun with friends and making the wall hanging pictured here. Trouble is we also have a little mulled wine along the way, so who knows what that tree will look like when I've finished, last years Santa and the Reindeers were facing the opposite way to everyone elses!!! Still it is meant to be a fun day, so really looking forward to it. Need to get everything cut out tonight, now the final fabric selections have been made.

Susan Briscoe Workshop


Had a fab day yesterday at Susans workshop, pictures to follow. At last I got the use the jelly roll and it is already looking fab…can't wait to see the finished result.

Picture of the work so far, really pleased with how it is looking. Just the piano border to do now and then complete…now that's the bit I fail to get too usually!!!

Well following Philippas' Curved Piecing experience some months ago now, I was inspired to do this for our group challenge. It's not my best work, by a long way, even my husband noticed it's weaknesses!!! Still it was a good experience in the technique with lessons learned for the future. It will look nice on the wall though.

The fabrics were of different weights and this I think makes a difference when piecing together.

Also I must stick to Masterpiece thread, it produces much better results.
