Quilting Owl

Here are some more photos of the lovely work produced by some of the Sunday Stitchers.  Kathy has made this colourful table runner from a free Moda pattern and also these lovely bags.   Jenny has finished the top for another table centre in a different colour palette. Back in the studio I have been layering and machine quilting this scrap quilt and also spending some time at the design wall for a new kit quilt for Peter with some coffee themed fabric. While in our home Peter has been recovering after tripping over this rather viscious looking piece of garden equipment which resulted in a nasty gash in his leg plus lots and lots of cuts and bruises.  After a week he is slowly recovering although still sufffering quite a bit of pain and discomfort.

I have been spending more time on the computer than I prefer lately so have fallen behind with blogging but here is a quick catch up.  My design "Hampton Court" has been revisited as a project in a special magazine "Patchwork Keepsakes".  This quilt was inspired after a visit to Hampton Court Palace in 2009 and a walk around their magnificent rose gardens. Now for some show and tell from the Sunday Stitchers and first up is Kathy's wonderful apple core quilt - Jenny had a couple of quilts to show us - this lovely one had some very useful tips and a nice bright table centre Linda's version of "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" has reached the final border stage and is looking stunning with the deep blue feature fabric. and Helen has been very busy making some dolls. To finish off I couldn't resist showing this lovely Blue Ulysses butterfly which visited our garden the other day. Till next time Frances ...
