Love the idea of a home away from home. I, too, have two machines and another one. My other was is a Newhome too, had it as a present to myself when I was widowed in 1978. It, too, doesn’t work but it still has pride of place in my workroom. Look forward to hearing more of your tales from the Acorn Falls…… thank you x

Chris Franses wrote a new post, Gardens and quilting 7 years, 7 months ago
An odd combination? Perhaps not – I find when I’m teaching that many of my students are as keen on gardening as they are about quilting. As am I. Our problems arise in the months from about April to October when we…

Wow..beautiful garden Chris.

Beautiful pictures. I love gardening, too, which does take time away from quilting in the summer but I do make up for it in the colder months.

You can easily spend the day in Wells Lin, it’s a great place to visit with the added bonus of the shop!! You will see either myself Jules (owner) or Sarah when you visit. You will have to mention you seen and read this to whoever serves you. Hoping you will find plenty of goodies too!

ChrisCross wrote a new post, To Wash or Not To Wash…………. 7 years, 7 months ago
…………..that is the question.
So, you’ve got your fabric and you’re ready to make your quilt. Are you in the ‘wash it first’ camp, or the ‘just get on with it’ camp?
I would think of myself as the ‘Just get on wi…

sorry for the lack of response … the spammers were removed some time ago. Unfortunately since we rarely get comments here its not checked regularly enough, but I hope you can see the issue is resolved. If you do have any issues its often better to raise a ticket as those are checked afre more regularly.

Absolutely delighted to see Amsterdam Memories featured in your post! I bought the pattern and fabric in Amsterdam some years ago, pieced the top, and then, my extremely talented friend begged to quilt it! We loved seeing it hang in the two person category, and heard some very positive feedback from visitors.

Isobel, thanks for letting us know the name of that specific quilt. I loved it at the show, it was truly stunning!

Thank you! We love it too.
