1969 was ‘My’ year.
‘Lay Lady Lay’ was written by Bob Dylan and recorded on Valentines Day, 14th February 1969. It hit the Charts in the July and reached No 5 in the UK. In the September I was 21 and a couple…

Friday 15th November – the date had been set for some months, and the day came and quilters made their way to the venue. However, in my mind, the retreat had started a few days before. This year I was ready for it: t…

Firstly let me apologise for not posting for a long long time. My life has been busy to say the least both at home and at work. So I thought I would take you on a journey through the production of my quilt Tr…

Lynda, thank you so much for fantastic photos and clear description of your process. Having seen that quilt in real life and close up I truly appreciate the work that went into making it. Bellissimo!!

Thank you Yas that is lovely to read.

What a wonderful piece of work! I am completely humbled by this. I particularly like the detail you give us on the preparation-it is all too easy to stand in front of a detailed piece of work and say flippantly, “I don’t like it!,” with no thought about what you are really seeing. So, thank you.
-
Thank you Maggie, It’s like most things, good prep work can take almost as long as the process. I hear comments too about how it must b done by computer etc. without thought to commitment involved.

That was exactly the strong argument I had with some “quilter” at Sandown Show about Joe’s beautiful work for her grand daughter. This old dear was adamant it HAD to be done by computer and she won’t have any truck with my comments! . Those photos really show up the stunning details that you never really grasp when looking straight at it. That backtracking on your feathers , couldn’t see a stitch out of place !

Carolyn Gibbs wrote a new post, Starting hand quilting: Part 8: Layering 6 years, 8 months ago
A quilt is made up of three layers – the top (which may be wholecloth, pieced or appliqued), the wadding and the backing. These three layers are held together by the decorative quilting stitches.
It’s imp…

Have you ever played the ‘What if….?’ game with fabric? You may well be asking yourself “What is the ‘What if…?’ game??”. Let me explain. You start by following a pattern, following instructions, and then having got…
