I received your Cathedral Windows book this morning…it’s beautiful!! Can’t wait to make something xx

The quilt police do exist, she came to our guild and told me my skills were seriously lacking for someone who had been quilting as long as i had and perhaps i should ask my husband to help more around the house and give me time to quilt more. She suggested at least 30 minutes every day and was shocked when i was not pleased with her statements. This definitely has taken some joy away from my quilting.

Well said!

Hear, hear!! It really is all about what you want to make as a quilter and how you want to make it.

Cheered me up, thank you. Always worried about them police.

Brilliant

It’s lovely 🙂

Such a cute and useful project…..one can never have enough pin cushions. Great blog Gini x

I’m going to give this a go. Thank you

What a lovely little project. I’m with you on scrap storing – I think it stems from my early playgroup leader days when we had to gather resources from everywhere and make the most of what we had (no money to buy things). I still ‘hoard’ to recycle now. Another thing to try – exciting.

Wow, thank you Lynda for showing us how you go about creating a master piece. You give hope to all us want-to-be master quilters.

Really interesting to see the different stages and just how much drawing is involved! Thanks Lynda

Thank you for the insight Lynda, very interesting. Love the pictures of the different stages

Wow, what a lot of work and planning. Wonderful images too. Thanks Lynda such a great insite.

Thank you for sharing such detailed photos

Hi Lynda. Firstly what an amazing quilt – I saw it in person at Newark and I was blown away by the beauty and intracy. My question is how did you achieve the pale blue micro quilting in the centre panel between the ‘border’ and the row of small circles? Is it micro stippling or micro pebbles all intersecting with each other? Thanks

Thanks for this insight on how these masterpieces are created…such time consuming work…but sooooooo worth it.

WOW! Fabulous!
Thank you for sharing the journey of the intricate and painstaking process
to achieve this splendid work of Art!

Thank you for sharing your process Lynda, it is beautiful, and so much work but worth it like you say 🙂 I’m just wondering please how you wash away the blue pen – do you just spray it while it’s still on the quilting frame? Many thanks 🙂

What a great review. Something to add to my wish list. Great wall hanging too

Thank you for reviewing these!

Interesting review, and an amazing wall hanging 🙂

Could you tell me how wide these ‘small’ clips are, trying to work out what size to order but not much information online and there seems to be regular size, small size and mini, Thanks

So glad you enjoyed your first retreat experience at Quilt Sandwich.

Loved reading this Val.

Very interesting

It’s all too easy to pick up a pattern with no thought to the hours spent designing, creating and perfecting, we just see a design we’d like to copy. But I’ve often heard at quilt shows “ get it, i’ll copy it when we get home”.

I really love the sewline glue pen for applique too. It holds the edges under well, but doesn’t cause any problems with your needle. I have tried using regular glue sticks, and while they are a lot cheaper, you can’t beat the sewline pen for its fine tip, better hold, and being a type of glue that just seems to work much better on fabric.
