When we first started working together...

 ...we taught a Sampler Quilt - it was great fun and we learned a lot about and from each other.. In the interests of encouraging the beginners amongst you, we will be making a free BOM (Block Of the Month) starting early next year. Not everything on here, but a really good starter set...

We will be putting the blocks online at the Modern Art Quilters website HERE, of course...

Not Everything is Totally Modern

And 4-way Tigers
Sample blocks for a Treadleon BOM (old sewing machine friendly..) to be announced after Christmas

 

Out all day...

...at the Repair Cafe. Came back for tea with HB and jollity like so (I did try to video this, but I haven't found out how, watch this space...)




Here's the pattern - make one for yourself?


and my Cheerful Goth version

 

December Rains...

 ...and we stay indoors and sew. Pretty much like the rest of the year, really.. HB is making Christmas presents for assorted family members (I won't show these yet) and I've been kite-making after quite a long break - well, there were lots cut out in the boxes and the big roll of fibreglass rods keeps on biting me in the ear when I go up into the attic...

Working Ever-so-small

Week of miniatures, me doing small stuff as HB quilts...

Today's blocks, trimmed to 1-1/2 inches (note the 50p piece for scale) for a version of Green Venus, long sold but still a favourite


Fussy-cut!
Micro-trees

A good day's work
And the mess. Silk is frightfully messy
Original, sorry the colour is so poor
More tomorrow

Here's a Glimpse...

Dearie Me

Not enough posting lately. Having been somewhat moribund all Winter and Spring, now the sun is shining and we actually have Somewhere To Go (Festival of Quilts, Birmingham NEC, 29th July - 1st August), stuff needs finishing and patterns writing and such and such

Here is Little Crosses



 Old Oakshott Fabrics "Summer Check and Stripe" charm squares (no, sorry, all long gone) and two whites, improv blocks and conventional-enough sashings. Ages in the making, recently finished 
And 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 22 x 22, for The Modern Group Challenge "It Takes Two" - making a pattern for this soon
And, finished last night
Goth Tiger, my latest Goth Baby Quilt, ready to give away (ETA, now gone to a new home)
This is the back - interesting "Lascaux Caves" print
So, a bit of progress, now I will go and melt gently till after supper, then attack the Post
