Hello

Hello all.
Apologies for not having posted for a few weeks - I've been really busy.
So where to start.  I'll leave the festival of Quilts for another time as I took so many photos I need to sort them all out.  But I must say I had a great time, and I was especially pleased to have gone with and met up with great friends.
But I've also went to see Catherine Nicholls and Edwina McKinnon at the Open Studios at The Bramble Patch.  It was so nice to meet up with them and have a nice chat. They were working hard on pieces for an upcoming exhibition at The Forge Mill from 7 September to 21 October 2012.

Here they both are, hard at work.
I'll be posting again very soon.

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.
