Jane Galley wrote a new post, Lily Pad By Debbie Shore for The Craft Cotton Co 7 years ago
I think the Craft Cotton Co are quickly becoming one of my favourite fabric companies. The quality of the fabric is superb and the latest batch of design are fantastic. I have been given the privilege of r…

You may remember my deliberations about going to the retreat last year, you can read about it here in case you missed it. There were all sorts or mental gymnastics to get there and I’m so glad I went. I then dec…

Juliet Nice wrote a new post, A Saucy Little Retreat…. 7 years ago
One of the best things about UK Quilters United on Facebook, is how it brings quilters together in real life (the outernet!) instead of just the internet.
Whether you are looking for a friend for ‘cuppa and sew’,…

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.

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 🙂

Juliet Nice wrote a new post, My Grace frame is up! 7 years, 2 months ago
Isn’t it what every quilter wants, their own longarm and frame? It’s mostly a question of money and space, and I have very little of either but I am a determined little bunny, so here goes…

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.
-
🙂 thank you, if I can wish it into working out I will!

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 love that we’re in the same boat!!!
-
-
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 🙂

Lovely gift Juliet and nice solution to a wonky panel.

Mum said she liked it. To be fair if I gave her a dead frog wearing a hat she’d still send me a thank you card of course… 😉

Juliet, I loved reading this, it really made me chuckle because I sometimes struggle to picture things in my head too.
Plus, I’m going to try your version of mitred corners, I think you might be onto something here!-
It was soooooo much easier to fake the mitre Ami, and it ends up exactly the same as if you’d done it the right way and ironed the seam allowance to one side anyway.

Great Wall hanging, and love your choice of weights during the blocking process

You’ve spent ages piecing your quilt top and the excitement mounts as all your blocks form into rows and then one big quilt top. You stand back to admire your work and you can’t wait to move onto layering it up…

Two good tips,thank you 🙂
