Quay Quilters

Braiding
The topic at Quay last night was Peruvian braiding. Pauline talked about various kinds and attendant pieces of equipment, showed examples and gave everyone a card thingy so they could have a go. It was one of the most concentrated evenings I have ever seen with everyone beavering away keeping their attention on the correct sequence.
Pauline showed us a book by Helen Deighan on this subject, "Beautiful Braiding Made Easy".

I was taking the beginners' log cabin session and Helen brought along a log cabin quilt she had made which had strips of varying widths to give a curved effect.
