Not small enough?

I love to make miniatures, I might have said this before but I am saying it again! I needed to make a class sample for the CUBITZ panel I am teaching at KIS Quilting (Ipswich) at the end of January so I can show the lovely ladies there how to face a quilt instead of binding it, since this panel has a shaped lower edge

The coin is just for reference: all will become clear soon

While sewing this panels I was idly wondering how small I could make it. My first instinct, when miniaturising a design, would be to foundation paper piece it, but this design just wouldn't work by that method. So it would have to be just done by accurate cutting and piecing (1/8th inch seams!)

Nailed it!

The fabric used throughout these panels is a lovely woven stripe by OAKSHOTT fabrics, sadly now discontinued. However the new weaving of LONGSHOTT is vibrant and gorgeous - I would recommend that you have a look at it.

New Year, New Word, New Top

Bit dark and windy, but this was my first Proper Sewing for 2018, made yesterday. I made a big version of my little Red Cat (click for a free pdf pattern) and I'm working on a trad version and a tiny one.. Series are so satisfying

Anyway, we have bashed the stash, got rid of a million "whydoIhavethises", freecycled a whole load of stuff, cleaned the carpets, made a Sale table (and sold lots of stuff from it) and we finally gave in and Sewed yesterday.. Oh, the joy! And Oh! my back! - it's forgotten how..
Got this (Hep Cat) onto the line just as the light faded and the wind came up, hope to layer this today

(ETA, did layer, and the Word is here)
