A picture for an Art exhibition

Just starting to quilt after doing hand work to make a picture rather than a wall hanging.I will post when I have it finished it. A sewing day tomorow as we are due to have rain . It is a bank holiday hear the last before Christmas.

Enjoy

One I made years a go

 

I thought I would share this photo my cousin posted on Facebook  of a quilt I made many years a go.
It was sent to her to put into Fibre Arts competition at Gibson , B C  Canada. It is a Kaleidoscope of the 4 element's using   Paula Nadelstern's book   Kaleidoscopes & Quilts. As each panel is Quilt as you go it can be folded to give a change , this is Fire .

I have not done much sewing this last week or so as other thing have been going on. I do have something I need to finish for an Art Exhibition  coming in September.

Off to get some food shopping now.
enjoy your week-end.
  

Fat quarter bag

Bag pattern made for the Norfolk young quilters. Many years ago I had seen a bag  like this but had to make the patterns and write the instructions.
I will take the owl bag to Little Ellingham show this week end.

I have the the grandchildren for a few days as my daughter can bring them.I enjoy every moment.
All sewing has to be put away as it is in the childrens bedroom.

Just a reminder of last years show . I hope the weather is good this year.

Norfolk Young Quiltrs

I do not have any photos of there work from last week. Thy were give Flying geese pattern to put into a " bit bag" . Two new Children that had never used a sewing machine before, completed there's with individual help  . The group now has about 16 members and is still growing. We can only   manage 12 at one time so if there are more wanting to make, we have to run a second class . More news can be found on the Norfolk Quilters web site .
