"Marmalade and Jam"

Hot off the press in the latest edition of Australian Patchwork & Quilting Vol 19 No 8 is a project for a small quilt I hand pieced and hand quilted using the big stitch Perle thread method. 

"Marmalade and Jam" by Frances Leate AP&Q Vol19 No 8
It was a fun little quilt to design and make and proved to be very portable and travelled with me on the odd trip away.  The only time I resorted to the sewing machine was to add the prairie points as stitching through so many thicknesses of fabric can be very hard going on my right hand.  My favourite colour "yellow" also managed to creep into things!

Till next time
Frances

I left the T.V. and the cycling to come back to the computer, which I had turned on , but not visited. So here I am You have done some lovely work , you must be pleased at the way your pieces have turned out especially the table runner with the candlewick, I would have never thought of doing that.

What a charming little quilt with an equally charming name! I love making small quilts, so this project would be a fun one for me. Love the color palette you picked as well.

I love the Marmalade and Jam quilt and just have the new AP&Q with the Star Bright quilt. I am going to use the Inklingo method of printing shapes on the back of the fabric for the M&J quilt as I have most of the shapes in my collections. Keep up the great work these little quilts have inspired me to keep my subscription going for a while longer.
