Recent Work

.. has been mainly samples for the new Quilters Guild Modern Specialist Group Tutor Boxes. an Idea Helen Howes and I have been working on for some time. Small quilt samples, nicely finished, with a copiable worksheet that groups can hire for the cost of the postage rather than hiring in a teacher and paying a small fortune in travelling costs.
Here is an Eccentric Crosses Sample nicely made with a flange binding and matchstick quilting:

 This is the Modern take on Log cabin great for using narrow scraps.

 This is an interesting one, x&+ blocks lots of these appearing in Japanese quilts.

My workspace! the tiny tumblers are my thread savers,  I just stitch another pair between sewing other blocks!
