See you at the Blogtreat.

Denham is a great venue for a retreat, I have been there twice with Avril’s group. Some amazing quilts your group has made there! Love your flowerpot and Rainbow. So pleased you enjoyed it, and like Lyn I can’t wait to meet everyone again at the Bloggerati retreat in November!

What amazing quilts and sounds like a great time was had by all.

Always a pleasure to meet fellow quilters and our group ” Barclay Quilters” have been up and running for years with 3 successful retreats per year. Lovely to have met Juliet, if only from a distance just in case she spied my mini quilt…….

Fabulous. I love our annual trips to Paignton with my quilting group and this year I have a lovely trip up to Derbyshire to look forward to in July. Like many, with work and tutoring I don’t get much time to stitch myself, so a few days away just for stitching is a real treat.

Quilters are so generous!

Such Kindness

A really clear and interesting post, Abigail, which highlights how you chose the most effective fabrics for this modern style. Choosing fabrics is something so many people struggle with!

This is a great blog, it was well written and easy to understand. I’ve only been quilting for 2 years and sometimes the ‘jargon ‘ just throws me. I look forward to the next part

The addition of the plain grey material was a masterstroke, really brings focus to the main fabrics.

Love it…go Juliet.

My mum always said, “ Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” And you certainly prove that, Juliet. I can’t wait to see your work on it, so I really hope a machine comes up soon.

So glad I’m not the only one using a Grace quilting frame for storage. I won’t show a photo just yet – I’ve got the wooden one which I set up 10 1/2 years ago in my sewing room, and it is heavy. One day I would love to have a dedicated long arm machine on it – I’ve used my Elna 7200 on it, but that means I would need to get the workshop machine out to use for piecing – doable but…! Anyway – well done, and one day maybe both of us will get round to quilting on our frames!

I’d love to learn to long arm quilt my tops too. You were wise to get this when you could even though you don’t have a machine for it yet. I’m sure you’ll have one soon and look forward to hearing all about the journey. Good luck!

Awesome 🙂
