June End

Can't believe it's the end of June already, this year is flying by pretty quickly.

I have lots to share but am slightly pushed for time at the moment so just a couple of pictures from the Sandown National Quilt Championships.

The first is the Kaleidescope Quilts stand (well half of it!) at the show.  I was so excited from the moment I walked in the door when this was the site that greeted me:

The next is the quilt that won Championship quilt at the show.  It's a pretty impressive quilt, one piece of fabric & long arm quilted.  This quilt has received mixed reactions. Let me know what you think.

Ah yes & have you noticed the new button over there at the very top ----------->>
It'll take you straight to our fabric site for a lovely selection of quality fabrics, just £1 P&P (uk only).

Happy stitching :)

Wealden Quilt Show (image heavy)

On Friday myself & Franney went for a, not so, quick drive to Crowborough, just past Royal Tunbridge Wells.  Here we were visiting the Wealden Quilt Show and these are some of the lovely quilts that we saw there.

I have to start by telling you about the quilt I voted for as my 'visitors choice' quilt.  Whist taking photos a lady commented that I was taking a picture of her 'Quillow'. A quillow being a quilt that all folds up nice & neatly into a cushion that is hiding attached to the back of the quilt (must make some of these!). Anyway, I asked if she made the other quillow on display & she gestered towards her grandaughter, 9 year old Ellie.  I loved Ellies' quilt, I loved her story of her making the quilt & I love that I got to meet her & she allowed me to take her photo to put on my blog.  So Ellie, a huge well done.... you got my vote :)

 

 

 

 

Happy stitching & happy Jubilee weekend :)

** NEWS FLASH **

You may (or may not) have noticed that I've been absent from my blog over the last month to 6 weeks.  I've been working with a friend on a new & exciting project, an opportunity arose that was too good to miss but it meant we had to speed up the work on our project.

Here is the result of our work:

LOVE fabric

Our online shop is still a work in progress but all items displayed are in stock & ready to ship so why not click on the logo above & come check us out.

New York Beauty Centre

Some good progress has been made on my New York Beauty quilt.  I'm in the process of sewing the blocks together :)

Here I thought I'd share with you the centre of my quilt.... well some of it anyway.

Hope to share some more with you soon.

Happy stitching :)

WIP Wednesday

Wow, it must be months since I posted a Work In Progress Wednesday post, hopefully I'll be getting back into the swing of it soon :)

I have two WIP's that I've been working on this week.  The first is my New York Beauty quilt.  My design requires 38 blocks & my deadline is May (not sure the date).  I may have to re-think my design as time goes on.

The second is a Log Cabin commission quilt that I'm working on, the final size will be for a double bed & at the moment I have quite a few blocks that are coming on nicely.  The log cabin has been growing quite quickly as I've been using the "washing line" method :)

I'm linking this post up with the WIP Wednesday over at Freshley Pieced so don't forget to pop over there & check out some other WIP's from some lovely people.

Happy stitching :)
