Clear Flower Bag from M&S as a top layer.
I do take out my own bags but sometimes I forget and need to pick one up while shopping. Things also come through the post in unwanted plastic and friends give you t…

Thank you. I had not thought of using tracing paper before, but baking parchment.

It was quite thin tracing paper Maggie and I am not sure how the thin stuff would fare. Baking parchment would be good. Thanks.

Congleton Chronicle – a quilt made by 21 members in 1987, raffled for a local Hospice.

Happy Jade Anniversary and have a great Show. So wonderful to see some of the archives too in this fascinating blog.

Thank you Teresa. The show is going well so far and a lot of interest in the quilts.

The other night I lay in bed tossing and turning thinking about my upcoming holiday and how I was going to transport a mini quilt I was working on without folding it and messing it up (lots of little pieces…

Snap. Without seeing this, a few months ago I made something very similar for the same purpose. I did use flannelette on the inside and put a pocket on the outside to hold pattern or small ruler. Works a treat to keep blocks in place. Great minds I think …
-
Hi Carol. That is a coincidence! Flannelette is a really good idea as it does need something to ‘cling’ to the pieces it is carrying. I tried to find some spare
fabric used for a hanging wall but couldn’t find it. A pocket in the outside is a really good idea as well. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

It’s always lovely to get fabric sent in the post to test and being a London girl, I suppose it was appropriate that the fabric I received were these London Town Fat Quarters from the Craft Cotton Co.

What fun fabric and such an innovative use for them! Visiting relatives in Hannover in May, might need to make them a London based present as a memory of a great visit to London last year.

Sounds like the perfect plan. I’ve just done a passport wallet using some more of the fabric. Doing a blog post now 🙂

A good thing about belonging to a patchwork and quilting group, apart from the social element of spending time with like minded people, is that you end up doing things you wouldn’t otherwise do. Of course it de…

This sounds like a really exciting challenge, and is clearly enjoyed by many members. Our group is just starting a challenge involving wool, tweed and patchwork and/or quilting. Should be varied!

Thanks Maggie. Your challenge sounds an interesting one. It would be lovely to see what is produced.
