I adore this. I still have quite an extensive collection of French and German Redwork samplers but this is exquisite. I used to design and teach Blackwork embroidery which are also known as Holbein embroidery with the back looking exactly the same as the front.

I know, but I certainly didn’t expect a Flowers from Molly “Box Of Joy” … total lovely surprise. I just do what I can to keep me busy in these often dark days, and if it gives a lift to someone else that is all the thanks you need xxx

Thanks Christine. It was a bit of an experiment both in terms of using the “Twisted Pinwheel” acrylic template, and making the duvet cover, just relieved it worked!

Thanks so much Jane, I did get a bit worried when I saw the sheer size of the quilt top you start with …. but it worked out fine ….

Love this idea, will be joining in xxx

Love it! Jiggling obviously worked marvellously

Brilliant that Carol was able to show the finished quilt to Carl from Panicos, it was lovely. I have Already read her Blog. Love your purchases. As a Moda designer I love Robin Pickins and have some of that range already on order from Shelagh Folgate at Moda Fabric Treasures. I will have to find Japan Crafts online because I love that charm pack…[Read more]
