Welcome welcome!

I've not made anything for ages after I screwed up the same thing twice. I'm gonna have another blimmin crack at it though! I've reconnected with another hobby and work is seriously getting in the way of everything I want to do, darn it.

Her colours and textures are lovely.

I must have done the head in of the woman in a nearby quilting shop in my hunt for the perfect light orange. I've nailed my yellows and pinks. Thought I had the blues but one looks out of place.

I cheated when I attempted quilting for the first time ( during covid lockdown) . I bought a set of charm squares from a destash group just to see how I liked it . That way I didn’t have to cut precisely 😂

I think a lot of people do that, @bookbook and it turned out nicely.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 14/09/2024 10:23

That's very cute @bookbook and your piecing and binding look spot on. I have quite a few precuts, the quilt that I just finished used a layer cake and the one I'm about to start uses a jelly roll. I don't think of it as cheating and it's the only way to get the entirety of one collection as shops generally pick and choose just a few bolts.

Inspired by all the excellent quilting I just made this for my DD

Is anyone going to watch Dress the Nation starting on Tuesday? https://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1weekweek-39-2024-sat-21-sep-fri-27-sep/ms-dress-nation I'm going give it a go, but I'm not sure how long I will be able to tolerate Vernon Kay.

That's lovely Brefugee

I suspect it will have very little to do with actual sewing.

Brefugee · 14/09/2024 13:56

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a go
