August already

I still don't seem to have got back into the posting on the blog routine again. But, better late than never, here is another batch of photos from sewing camp.
This first photo hopefully gives you an idea of about how much stuff I take along - that's it almost full with the back seats down.


Here is my quilt as you go laid out on the table before I put it all together. I'll be posting a photo very soon of it completed. Each block is machine quilted - so it was a challenge - but I must say I have improved lots.

And here is my 'Summer Fever' quilt. I really enjoyed putting this one together - there was virtually no waste. The colours haven't come out very well - the green is an Oakshott lime green - certainly gives it a bit of zing.

And below are loads more photos of what people made during sewing camp. I think I've enough left for one more long photo post - so I'll try to get those posted at the weekend.
I hope you'll notice there are quite a few jelly roll quilts.

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

At long last ......

At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
