Oast Quilters

 Janet Clare and her husband came to Oast. Janet's talk about how she came to design fabrics for Moda and the whole process from concept to purchaser was fascinating.

She showed quilts made to showcase her fabrics  all in soft blues, greys, greens except her latest which represents a departure..

Meanwhile I have assembled my Blues Garden blocks. Adding white sashing with grey motifs made all the difference.

Off and on the bed

 Off the bed: Sunny

And currently On the bed: Frieda's Cafe Curtains 

Made with Carolyn Frielander fabrics

This has has a different look according to the line of vision. The lines are straight but the Cafe Walls Illusion makes them appear angled.

The effect is more marked from a distance

What did I do?

 Well I was quite pleased with what I got done especially as I took a morning off to go shopping in Beccles.

Made with a free jelly roll which was quite
hard to work with.

I sewed Two Strip Mix Up blocks from workshops with Valerie Nesbit of Creative Quilting and assembled a couple of tops.

I bound the blue and yellow quilt Maggie quilted for me.

Made to use up a long held bundle from a friend's stash sale. Very old fashioned.

I prefer the back

It was  chance to hang up the Region 2 raffle quilt and sell some tickets.

Made with Tilda fabrics and quilted by Maggie.

On the last day I sewed lots of fabric fusion blocks from my sample fussy cut repeats but was disappointed with them. A couple of members encouraged me to go on and continued at home adding sashing ( white with a grey ouline flower print) which made all the difference. Now I'm pleased.
