Every so often something wonderful happens and today was one of those days.
You may have heard already about the Quilts for Christmas Dinners project. For those who haven’t there are several blogs already…

How wonderful of EQS, we are all so inspired to make this happen as volunteer makers, this is the icing on the cake!

Chris Franses wrote a new post, Frame Quilts 7 years, 4 months ago
When is a frame quilt not a frame quilt? When it is a medallion quilt. In fairness the terms are interchangeable, although ‘frame’ is often used to describe British quilts made using fabric scraps and left over bit…

Great article. I made a quilt from 4 orphan blocks from a friend, and then just added to it using scraps and corner stones & sashing strips, until I ran out of fabric, no real pattern in mind. Nice to know there was some method to my madness and it has a real name, rather than my name “Winging It”!

I’d forgotten about those – Round Robin quilts we used to call them. Great fun! And, yes, they are frame quilts when finished. I don’t think I knew that either back when I was doing them.

I like ‘winging it’ much more than ‘frame quilt’ – it describes the randomness of it so much better.

Lovely blog Chris. This is a great group challenge! We did this last year – put a block in a pillowcase and keep circulating it around so that several people add a mystery border to it. Some great results, and some not great results, but lovely to see how peolpe worked out their borders.

A quick little make, ideal to take on your travels or to sit and complete in between a bigger project.
A few hours and you will have a little stitchery to give to that someone special.
Whether you hang it from…

That’s really cute! If I wasn’t such a miserable single so and so I would totally make one! xx

Just make one for yourself and leave off the lovey dovey words!

I adore red-work, I used to do it myself a long time ago, and have some antique German red-work in the loft somewhere. I must have a rummage! Nice to see it is making a comeback.

Quick free pattern finds.

Chris Franses wrote a new post, Re-creating a quilt 7 years, 4 months ago
This quilt probably isn’t the easiest to write about as it was made from random scraps and left-over units – one of those designs that ‘just grew’. However, I will attempt to show how, armed with just a picture…

Ooo nicely done!
