The residents' garden group met at Jenny's house learning how to divide clumps of primroses but also taking plants home to naturalise in their own gardens. We are lucky to have loads that come up every year. but it was good to eat cake and chat. Jenny is also a quilter and embroiderer and recently finished this wall hanging featuring images of flowers from her garden printed onto fabric and embroidered.

THe quilt on my bed was started in a Jan Hassard class using light dark and medium fabrics 
and a simple block to achieve magical effects. Lots and lots of scraps and so enjoyable to make and sleep under. Machine and hand quilted.

Detail of Modernish sampler

The Modernish Sampler has been tacked (a job I was putting off) and the sashing machine- quilted in the ditch. 

Now I am hand quilting the border. Once done I'll bind the quilt and start to quilt the blocks.
I try to think about quilting strategies as I sew past each blocks. Not straightforward.
