One thing I love about appliqué is that you can make it as complicated or as simple as you like. With raw edge appliqué you can create images that have a childlike quality. Something fresh and simple can be ple…

Lovely blog Chris, made me smile and recognise a few things that I can relate to … now I really must find the fabric to make the quilt block I designed in 2019!
-
Good to know we’re not alone . . .

Your examples are fabulous. I imagined when writing a pattern that producing the final piece was the greatest challenge, but you have completed lots of lovely pieces here.

Thank you , Maggie

Thank you – that’s made me feel a whole lot better about all my UFO’s etc.

Juliet Nice wrote a new post, Painted Lupin 5 years, 9 months ago
I love lupins. They grew in our garden when I was little and I would pick the petals off and manipulate then like they were little mouths. I don’t think I’d seen one in years until a recent chance sighting at a B&M…
-
Love the softness that the paints give. I can imagine a quilt using blocks just like this. Just a gorgeous design x
-
The soft colours make that look fabulous. I put Lupins in my garden this year . Love it x

Really original, and full of possibility. Lupins are a weed in New Zealand: I wish our weeds were as colourful!

Love it x

Thanks Lyn.

Super to see how to do that fiddly applique. So often the advice is very skimpy. I had never thought of a cocktail stick!

Really useful tool!

What a lovely blog. It gets to the heart of our fabric obsession: not so much sewing, as remembering.

I was wondering why my quilt was in a blog lol. It’s beautiful, not as good as mine obviously (heeheeheee) but great for a teenage boy. Mine went to my teenage boy’s girlfriend as he asked nicely x

Must admit, I had purchased the fabric then saw your bargello and was inspired to get on with it!

You did a brilliant job 🙂

-
An organiser like me! Though I am very envious of your cupboard. It is very tidy!
-
Thank you Maggie – I am an organiser, but not when it comes to my scraps! And the cupboard looks tidy because I was searching for the missing block I mention in the blog and tidied it up; I found the block, but not in the cupboard at all!! The rest of my sewing room is not so tidy – but that is due to the amount of stuff in here. The sewing cupboard was certainly a worthwhile purchase 12 years ago.
-
-
I also use storage boxes for my fabric, separated into rough colour families. We deliberately bought a metal framed bed so that I could store the boxes underneath – keeps them out of the light to avoid fading
-
A good idea for keeping the boxes out of the light. I have quite a few of my boxes under my quilting frame.
