Another project created

Have just finished another couple of cushion projects.  It has been decided by my students that we won't have a charity day next year, but will have a quilt show instead.  They also decided we would have a day making heart shaped cushions for the Woolverstone Wish Appeal, so I have found the recommended pattern and made my sample.

I kept the embellishment simply on mine, but the students will have a free rain on what they want to do.

I have also been asked to create a stitchery cushion design featuring a mini.  Hope you like it.

Have also finished the top of Sophie's quilt, so now have to layer it up and tack together, then for lots of hand quilting.  Something to keep me busy over the next 3 months, as the deadline is the week before christmas.

Enjoy the last of the summer sun.

Finally Finished

Finally Finished

Have just finally finished the project I started on holiday in May and have mounted it on an artist block.

Its a variation on a Doti Doodle's pattern, that I purchased at Quilters Haven in Wickham Market.  The only problem I had was, once finished I decided to use some Best Press to get rid of a crease I had down the centre.  It is not compatible with a brown Pigma pen.  The pen bleed where I had sprayed it, and it wouldn't come out with washing.  I managed to cover up the mark with some white chalk, and as it is a picture for me I will live with it. But if I was going to give it away I wouldn't have been very pleased.  So be aware, if you use a Pigma pen, it is not permanent if you use a pressing spray.

On a lighter note, had a great day on Saturday teaching Japanese Folded hexagons at Quilters Haven.  All the students enjoyed themselves, and all made a good start on the centre of a table runner.  This is the sample I made for the class, which used a fussy printed piece of fabric that I had been keeping for a while.  A few of the students used christmas fabrics for the centre of each hexagon.  A sign that it will soon be here.

Hope you have all had a good summer, are back into swing of creating lots of projects for the autumn months.
