Another week has flown by, and the highlight was an evening with the Academy quilters in Grantham where good old Frankie was demonstrating right angled triangles and all their doings to some of our newer members, she brought along a lovely quilt with really small triangles to show us and also an older quilt that she made for a commission for the women's realm magazine many years ago, the remit was that it had to be suitable for a total beginner and quick to make and no small complicated piecing !!!!

ReplyDeleteI am blushing here Tina! I hope nobody from ALQS looks in here tho;-) If that is your ALQS quilt in the jungle in your other post I will have it on my list! x
ReplyDeleteFabulous little machine... I agree, they should come in many colours though I would have chosen purple too. I too would be interested to know what its stitch range is.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great group! Sausage rolls and chocolate fingers sound yummy.
