Ongoing

I have attached the sashing to my Modernish sampler but am still thinking about borders. Unfortunately I have no more of the red sashing post fabric. I even had to piece the last 2" square. I'll piece some square in a squares for a posssible solution.

On the bed is an early 20th/late 19th century quilt from a Bristol attic. It's nice and thin, just right for the warmer weather.

Anothet Sweet Tea block and I have the pieces prepped for a second one.

Photo Shoot

As I will be disposing of recent quilts eventually, either to sell, donate or give I did a photoshoot of them pinned to the side of my shed. I like to have a photographic record of my quilts though some 
fall through the cracks.
The one that's already been taken is the Bondoon quilt bought by the Pat Man.

Modernish sampler and sewing day

 

Mary

Nine of us  had a lovely sewing day at Lower Hardres Village Hall today. Mary finished binding a quilt for a baby and Jenny completed a disappearing ninepatch quilt top.

At home I've laid out my sampler blocks from some time ago and am determined to finish them but the sashing is throwing up problems.
