Lastest project when not gardening

You are very talented.

I echo Bathgate's comment.

That looks quite perfect - your friend is sure to love it.Good luck with finding some more comissions!

I do love a hand made quilt. Its great! I hope you get to make some with fabric that you like!

thank you for the compliments. They are fun to do. I enjoy planning them and the cutting out of all the squares and triangles as in this design. each block is 12" square when bound to the joining strips.

It is such meticulous work...all those joining seams...you must have endless patience. :)

I really like this SBG, it's so different from usual designs.

At the Cloisters Museum, uptown, these are hung on the wall.

Love the quilt and the name of the design you are talented and must enjoy you the quiet time you spend doing it .

there is a tradition of using them as wall hangings Bathgate. I guess more so now that better bedding is available to most people.
the old British quilts are scrap quilts ie made from fabric scraps old dresses/shirts etc. They can end up in museums here too.

They are often used as throws over sofas etc.

I do enjoy being in my sewing room as it over looks the bird feeders in the back garden.

That's beautiful. I enjoy seeing anything creative. Good luck with your website :)

That would make a beautiful wall hanging or draped over a bed.

its going to be used on a single bed.
both my girls have them on their beds everyday. I am in the process of doing one for mine. :o)

Your friend is very lucky. That is hours of work. I have a pile of 8" squares in many colours from white through the spectrum to black. I also bought patterned material which I will have to cut myself. I intend to make a throw for our guest bedroom bed. I even bought the filling because I do not have any of my old wool blankets. I got rid of them when duvets became fashionable. I'm busy having a clearout at the moment but next winter should see me with some spare time. My husband and I are both hoarders and the job is making quilting seem like fun. I am sure your website will attract customers for you. It would be a shame to let your talent stagnate because you have nothing left which needs a quilt.

Your patch work is beautiful . Do you use a sewing machine to join the patches together or do hand sew them? It' s lovely to have a relaxing hobby.

most of the time its a sewing machine but there is some hand stitching on some designs.

Oh that's lovely Seaburn, I've never been into sewing and to be honest I doubt I could these days, fingers wouldn't allow and someone would have to thread my needles, lol, I'd love a quilt specially made for me, I applaud your talent and of course your patience...

Sewing is definitely an acquired talent,and not one of mine,I'm afraid,so I do envy anyone who has this skill,and the time and patience..I hope you are successful in getting some Commisions too.I'm sure you will,as this is a lovely example of your talent ..:o)

I have won one a prize. my Christmas lap quilt is in Popular patchwork magazine :o))

I'll add a photo to this blog so you can see what it looks like.

That's great news Sbg.I love your Christmas quilt too,well done.I hope your prize will come in useful :o)

The prize consisted of 3 fabric marking pencils and some pretty ribbons. They will come in useful.

I do admire your talent, sewing has never been my thing, I like them both, and think the doggy one great fun! you certainly deserve to get some commissions , good luck, lucky daughters to have such a clever Mum!
