Obligatory Cat Post...
Lucicat cooling the unders!

I've always loved her spotty tum but she hates you touching it.

On Exhibition.. and a shark!

My Quilt "Hidden" is on exhibition in the USA!
You can find pictures and my artist statement  on Stretching Art here:

I am really proud of this piece of work.


And here is the
Shark pencil case I have made for my grandson's birthday. From a free pattern on Craftsy designed by Patchwork Posse

Putting in the zip was tricky!

Serpentine Curves class

Here are some pictures from my class.
First there was a lot of cutting out ..

Then a lot of arranging.
Half blocks were stitched together and more arrangements of designs made...

Soon a variety of ideas were emerging!

I do love it when the students develop ideas that the teacher hasn't yet tried!!
Aren't these just wonderful?

Thread bunnies

Here's a small indication of how many seams I sewed when working on the newest Oakshott quilt A Walk in the Woods... these are my thread bunnies, and when you consider that there was a lot of chain piecing going on too, hmm.

well they do make nice card toppers for emergency card making!

New fabric

I came home after my week of grandmothering and quilt retreat to find a lovely parcel from Hancocks.. all excellent quality fabrics in soft modern colours and only $3.99 a yard!
I really ike the feature fabric with the birds printed on it and the soft grey print is just beautiful: coincidentally I saw an interesting hexagon quilt in these fabrics this afternoon on Pinterest.





And here is what I was working on at Quilt retreat:
another version of my Serpentine Curves quilt in Oakshott Autumn Colour Pack.
I'm calling this one A Walk in the Woods.
Gorgeous rich shott cottons with just a few dappled batiks to give a sense of shade.
This has joined the queue for quilting at Mandy Parks' The Quilts Whiskers. Which is a shame as I hoped to have it as another sample for the class I'm teaching at Fleggburgh on Saturday... Oh well a photo will have to suffice.
