Home again

So the retreat was brilliant!

I drove down to Dublin early on Friday morning, and did a machine quilting workshop with Barbara Barber. It was great, her work is amazing! Barbara Barber

Aswell as this quilt 'Fishy Affair', she had brought her 'Cats' quilt and we were able to see it on display. Then on Saturday morning I did another workshop with Barbara called 'Really Sharp Piecing'. Jean and Louise did a super job on their curves and points!Jean and Louise


Stitch ripper at hand, I was happy with mine too!Karen


I never got time to post this photo last week, its my latest offering for Lily's Quilts Quiltalong.

They were all randomly put together, but I think it'll work!

Dublin here I come!

I had to buy some more 'Hunky Dory' fabric this week to finish off my piecing for Lily's Quilts Quiltalong.
My fabric stash just didn't stretch far enough.
This line of fabric may just be my all time favourite.
I am off to Dublin tomorrow for the Quilter's Guild of Ireland retreat.
I'm a very new member, so am looking forward to taking part...
in fact I can't wait!
I've signed up for two workshops with Barbara Barber.
Sew, sew, sew. Stop for coffee. Sew, sew, sew. Stop for lunch.
It'll be great!
