Love that Ruth

A lovely piece Ruth. I am really enjoying this Song Title Series! Beautifully stitched and it really does evoke a sunset on the Thames. I especially like the printing, though I do not know how that is done. It complements the work beautifully.

This one bought back more Memories! Thanks Ruth. Love the triangles and the water – very clever. Te circular quilting really addes to the whole design too. I have never thought about putting a fabric design in a picture frame – might give it a go another time. Really enjoyed the Blog too. xx

One of the songs of my childhood too, my dad loved the Kinks! Very cleverly done and love the circular quilting

memories of my older sister and brother bopping around the kitchen singing all these old songs that are being depicted. Lovely make.

one of my favourite songs, and the best lyric…. What a wonderful mini. I am very very impressed!

What a very poignant and sensitive piece about a tragedy we all felt and a community we all belong to. And when people feel unheard, as so many do,, a really powerful reminder that we are stronger when we are together.

Sylvia Thank you for featuring our Quilt in this wonderful site. Sharing our story & supporting our aim to bring more awareness to our cause is much appreciated

I didn’t get it-too busy to keep up when Prince was in his heyday-but I love it! What a super quilt! So clever, too.

I didn’t guess it until the end! Great quilt Nina and great interpretation!!

Fantastic Nina! I love it – especially the face, and the clues. I think I got it from clue 2 – that was when I started thinking of songs that I knew with those words!

Very clever, but had no clue, still don’t. I have heard of him though.

I didn’t get it, I could on think of “send all your kisses to me”. I’m not good with lyrics or Prince . It’s beautifully executed

That is a lovely Blog Nina. Such a good interpretation, lots more kisses to you. Xxx

Loving how you have made this quilt, bet you were singing the song as you stitched along!

Mwah Kiss!!!!

Haha! I saw some of these! Left footed? Are you left handed too Nina?

Love it! I think I have tried sewing left footed, but like everything, it takes practise! I suppose as well that it seems more natural to use the right foot, due to the lead being on the right hand side of the machine, and also as the foot pedal is akin to the accelerator pedal in a car.

As for the footwear – I may or may not be able to identify a pair or two!!

I definitely know no 9. I just wore my flip flops (And odd socks) to dinner. #noshame

I know who wore 5 and 3, and mine were on my feet at dinner, but off whilst I was sewing, I’m a barefoot sewer!!

Love the pixie boots! I sew with my right foot. Is that unusual?

I was there and I can’t guess any of them! I’m sure I did see numbers 3 and 9, but can’t remember whose feet they were on.

This is a lovely account Teresa. Textiles are everywhere, thank goodness!

Sounds wonderful.

Very interesting read Teresa. What a great place to keep going back to!

Food for thought! Even my husband carries a fold up bag now. You make a good point about the desirability, Ruth. It would be a shame if someone’s work were not appreciated, but all we can dois try!

Can’t wait to see you all again in a couple of weeks. Last year was great fun and was so inspiring being able to learn from each other.

A really clear, well-illustrated explanation. Thank you. That “tad to the right” explains why they have been so difficulty previously.
I even bought a book on flying geese. It didn’t help as much as this.

Thanks Teresa, as usual your lovely bloggs really cheers one up, , sending you a big Swedish hug xx

Great blog Teresa. Thank you for a fun read. Just thought I’d share a joke my 7 year old granddaughter told me yesterday. ‘Why can you never hear a pterosaur when he goes to the toilet?’. Because the ‘p’ is silent!!

Great blog Julia x
