Border added

Adding a border to the Marti Michell FQ log cabin improved the look. It will be backed with the same wide  pink linen  as the other Kaffe Fassett strippy.

 I like my log cabin top although the arrangement is not a conventional one but looking attentively I can see symmetry. The four "pink" corners were my starting point.

The pile of tops waiting to be quilted is growing.

Next up was opening the cupboard containing fabrics from my time in KL 1999-2000. Time to put them to use.

North Country Trip

I have been away for nearly a week, hence no blogging. First stop was York to see the new exhibition at the Quilt Museum, this time quilts from the IQSC, Nebraska. No photos allowed so here is my travelling log cabin quilt on the bed at the B&B. This quilt fits into whatever decor it finds itself in. After my evening meal in York I walked back through the museum gardens where a sound and light show was taking place with wonderful moving images projected onto the ruined abbey walls with accompanying commentary. Very atmospheric. Then on to another B&B for 4 nights in County Durham. I revisited the city where I was a student 1965-68. It was and is a wonderful setting for learning: here is the Castle and magnificent Norman Cathedral. Going to lectures each day I would pass through the cathedral and pause by the tomb of the Venerable Bede in the Galilee Chapel to say a short prayer. The Castle doubled as a student hall of residence.
