I have been admiring all the Mark Herld stuff for the past 12 months and I might have been in at Cottage Quiltworks on Saturday and if you checkout there blog you will see another amazing version f this fabo quilt! Completely different look.
Kate's lovely background for a special project, sorry I didn't take more photos of her other backgrounds as they are equally beautiful. I can't wait to see the next stage of appliqué not these backgrounds.
Elizabeth's Gee Bend quilt top - looks amazing. There was great debate about the colour options for the border, sorry no photos.
For those of you who weren't in class this month, Sue is offering us a challenge of mixing old and new together. If you would like to participate, please dig deep into your stash for about 1.7 metres of "old material" - old being the style. In Sue's version above her star is old upholstery fabric she had laying around the house (literally). If you don't have any old upholstery fabric then just something old fashioned would do. Sue is also doing another version with the "old fabric" being used in the corner squares and also half-square triangles.
And a little project that I am working on. I had a stash of Mercia Derse fabrics which I got in the States about 3 years ago. I have to say I am not a big fan, well actually I hate batiks etc, and these fabrics have a batik feel to them but they are AMAZING - my new love love project. It's inspired by Bumble Beans wedding ring quilt challenge. Naturally it won't be a "little" project. Stay tuned.
Also big thanks to Stephanie, Kate and I forgot someone, for another delicious lunch. There was talk about a group cook book from our year of lunches - please feel free to email me them and I will co-ordinate.
Happy sewing everyone. Ciao Kimbo
