Like this idea, when I tried to make the Camden Bowl (more or less same idea) I stitched the inner edge. Probably contributed to the bowl shape. Will definitely try this one…. thanks Lyn

Looks fab! I have the material needed, but not sure I have the patience…

What a fabulous resource, Chris! There are so many books, when I was a new/apprentice quilter, I didn’t know what does or does not help. But your blog really spells it out.

Looks good Jane, lovely summer colours too. You’re right, deciding on the right pattern takes some time!

That really is a happy quilt!

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 with Shibori inspired fabric. I have already bought the ruler that Juliet Nice designed for UKQU but it will be interesting to see what you and Andy come up with in the future.

Like all the best ideas, it provokes a, “ Now, why ever didn’t I think of that!” Response! I do love a bit if recycling, too.

This is a great piece of work, well done.

Brilliant Lyn, we need to get someone up on the real thing to add some colour 🙂

Super!

Brilliant Lyn, I would be proud to hang it…. and I don’t even come from ‘Up North’ lol. Love the bright colours, perhaps Gormley should paint his to match!!!

It’s wonderful, and the little bit of history of the making is great too. Well done!

There are some really helpful tips here. Thank you, Rebecca.

Brilliant!

Thank goodness the weather was so bad…or I would have been off down the “stuff shop” fast as lightning after seeing all these lovely patterns.

Very successful too! I love your viewpoint: it really works. Nice to see varied techniques being used so well.

What a great wall hanging! I like the fabrics used especially as they were scraps. I am glad you enjoyed doing this, it is good to learn new tricks. Recognised the Humber Bridge from your interpretation. I really liked doing mine too. Like you, I am looking forward to the next challenge. Home we have more of these Famous Places!

Love it Jane x

Great, well done

The building is fascinating. We hated it when it appeared with its ‘old bicycle wheels’ struck on the outside but when it is lit up in the evenings it is stunning. The inside, and the roof terraces, are clean and inviting with lots of comfy seating places to read your books or just contemplate the world or view the exhibitions. Rumour had it that they had run out of money to stock new books so it isn’t rammed to the rooftops – but technology plays a part in that, this is a fab design and looks lovely in the picture frame Sue. The frame reinforces the clean lines seen on this modern building. Well done – it is a lovely representation! .

What lovely quilting! It certainly complements your accurate design. Angles and curves all in one place. I really enjoyed reading this blog. It brought back many memories, as I used both the lovely old Reference Library ( when I was a student) and the Central Library. This was new then (when taking my Finals in 1974). I was rather shocked that it was being replaced after only 40 years and very amused to see that the upside-down ziggurat has been replaced by a another, right-side-up ziggurat!

Challenging but fun! Lots of ideas spring to mind-weddings, births, special anniversaries. So nice!
