This is a great piece of work, well done.

Brilliant Lyn, we need to get someone up on the real thing to add some colour 🙂

Super!

Brilliant Lyn, I would be proud to hang it…. and I don’t even come from ‘Up North’ lol. Love the bright colours, perhaps Gormley should paint his to match!!!

It’s wonderful, and the little bit of history of the making is great too. Well done!

What a beauty!

Oh the memories came flooding back! I learned to sew on one of these, so when I went to secondary school and was confronted by a hand wheel Singer, it was a real step down from hands free!
I remember Mum changing the leather belt. It lived in an alcove by the hearth, so it was always available if you just lifted off the cover. She would only ever use 40 thread, but ours was a Jones. You can get a fair old speed going and it is a most satisfying noise!

That looks wonderful and such an interesting technique. I love it

What a super piece.and all the different techniques you used. Wonderful.

This is great, well done.

Thank goodness the weather was so bad…or I would have been off down the “stuff shop” fast as lightning after seeing all these lovely patterns.

Very successful too! I love your viewpoint: it really works. Nice to see varied techniques being used so well.

What a great wall hanging! I like the fabrics used especially as they were scraps. I am glad you enjoyed doing this, it is good to learn new tricks. Recognised the Humber Bridge from your interpretation. I really liked doing mine too. Like you, I am looking forward to the next challenge. Home we have more of these Famous Places!

Love it Jane x

Great, well done

I love it! I was (almost)disappointed because it began as such a lovely spooky story…and I wanted it to go on! And a beautifully realised quilt!

The building is fascinating. We hated it when it appeared with its ‘old bicycle wheels’ struck on the outside but when it is lit up in the evenings it is stunning. The inside, and the roof terraces, are clean and inviting with lots of comfy seating places to read your books or just contemplate the world or view the exhibitions. Rumour had it that they had run out of money to stock new books so it isn’t rammed to the rooftops – but technology plays a part in that, this is a fab design and looks lovely in the picture frame Sue. The frame reinforces the clean lines seen on this modern building. Well done – it is a lovely representation! .

What lovely quilting! It certainly complements your accurate design. Angles and curves all in one place. I really enjoyed reading this blog. It brought back many memories, as I used both the lovely old Reference Library ( when I was a student) and the Central Library. This was new then (when taking my Finals in 1974). I was rather shocked that it was being replaced after only 40 years and very amused to see that the upside-down ziggurat has been replaced by a another, right-side-up ziggurat!
