Double sided Quilt

This is a fantastic method of quick

quilting.  It works well for children

or older people especially if the quilt

needs to be washed frequently. 

It was introduced to me by my

friend Elaine who was taught

the method by a mutual friend. It is

Constructed in squares first then

trimmed and joined with sashing

and bound as normal.  Made in 2009 and given to my daughter Emma.

My quilting domain

This is my quilting shed.  I have had it for about five years and, as you can see, after three years I found I needed an extension!  My husband is very clever and managed to carry on the line of the Swiss chalet type roof and create a large storage space for my fabric stash..... I also do a bit of teaching and have worktops all the way round the main part of the space with sockets to accomodate those who want to sew by machine.  At the moment the inside is a bit of a mess so when it is clearer I will let you see what it's like.  Happy quilting.

Pinwheel Lap Quilt

This quilt was made for Becky our grandaughter in Germany. It is made out of sraps with the mottled blue background  fabric left over from a quilt I made my daughter and her husband.  Keep it in the family as they say!

Quilted Sunday

It is raining cats and dogs today - so it is a good day to sew and cosy up in front of the TV. I am just finishing off a quilt I started a long time ago which reflects a holiday to Egypt. Look out for the next blog with a picture of the completed quilt.
