Sample – part one

Well I have had a busy old time recently, what with home and the business.  There never seems to be enough hours in a day for me just lately.  I expect you all know how that feels though.  I am currently looking to bring in some items from the USA that will help quilters and Continue reading »

Almost done

I haven’t been able to get into the studio as much as I would have liked this week but I am nearly at the end of the green one now.  In the diamond shape I first put another batch of feathers, but after thinking about it and looking at it over a couple of days Continue reading »

Wonky part 2

Well, I have finished two rows of the wonky parachute so far, and although I can’t do much about the fact that the blocks are not all the same size, and the piecing is a little funky, I can do my best with the other wobbly bits and the parachute thing that seems to be Continue reading »
