Christmas Make

On Friday my friends popped round to the studio for the annual Christmas make.


Using Somerset stars we created lovely hanging decorations





 It made a great display at the end of the evening and I really wanted to keep them all.


I see a lot more folded patchwork in my future

Star Pattern Table Runner Video 2




I am continuing the series of videos for the Star Pattern Table runner.

Video 2 concentrates on making the star pattern block using a four patch block method of construction.





I also received a photo from Cherry of her finished Parrot panel. She chose some lovely batik fabrics and they have worked beautifully for this project.


Thank you Cherry for sharing your lovely panel with us

Star Pattern Table Runner

I have been busy in the studio recording a series of videos to help you make this lovely star pattern table runner.


The first video is all about half square triangles and this is a good project if you want to try to perfect them.
It would look lovely in Christmas fabrics too.

This is the link for the video

New Machine and a video

I recently received my new sewing machine, a Q'nique 14 " mid arm quilter. This has been very exciting and I have been trying it out and getting used to it every spare moment for the last week.



However today I seem to have spent as much time creating a video of my first attempts at quilting a small childs quilt as I did actually quilting it. If you would like to see my progress I have added the video and link here.




I used a vermicelli stitching pattern in the center of the quilt to check the tension.


And then doodled swirls and leaves around the border.


Hope you enjoy the video
