May quilts


These are my 2 entries for the March and April 6" by 12" for CQGB and are based on the White Horse of Uffington. One was made by hand quilting and the other on my Babylock Embellisher.

This is my recent srap quilt that I am entering for the Sandown quilt show. I have decide to call it Trad Jazz. Originally it was going to be called Jazzy Wazzy but I changed it at the last momen filling in the application form.

The back of the cot quilt that I have made for my son' Adam's first child due in July

This is the front of my grandaughter to be's cot quilt and thanks to Gill for material from USA.

Here is the detail of Betty's quilt which was quilted by Sue of Quiltessence

Betty is so happy. This is the result of her quilt following a workshop last October. This is a light version of my winning bed quilt shown in my profile.

April quilts

This is Sandie's cushion made with the leftovers of a beautiful quilt which is being quilted by Sue Quiltessence. We should see the end product soon.
These are the Squares produced from the Squares squares squares workshop. I hope we will see them later as they have progressed.
















Marion has created this star quilt started at the Multi star Workshop.



After the pin cushion came the cushion with a difference. Trish is really becoming creative. I never know whats coming next.










Trish wanted a pin cushion and WOW that will never get lost. Very different. Black and yellow really looked good.











Mary from my thursday class has done her first cathedral window needlecase. I dont think there will be a whole quilt made with cathedrals but glad to have tried it.












Sharron has produced her first cats in the windows quilt.

Some more items this month

Bridget came to my workshop on the shaded 4 patch. She was inspired by my winning quilt seen on my profile. This is in progress and all the piecing finished Bridget is now hand quilting with overlapping circles.
Pauline joined my classes recently and has made this bag in her first 2 weeks. Pauline enjoyed it so much and is making another bag of the same design.

This weekend was a Multi Star workshop

Mary really did a bright WoW with these stars. The black and white worked well against the turquoise background.
Gillian tried some of her Batiks on her stars and the result is good as a contrast to the background.
Janet did a real yummy pink group of stars. I am not sure how many more will be added or who they will be for.
These are Betty's stars and she started to invent her own with interesting results.

Vivienne has shown these four squares and there may be more hiding in progress. Keep watching and see the end results.
These are Marion's stars and she is going to add more to make a small quilt to be put on the end of a bed.

Here are some of Rae's stars. She has only just started patchwork classes and she really enjoyed this workshop using bondaweb. I will display her finished piece later. This week they are already together.
