Quilting class

A quilting class at Red Shed Quilting yesterday.....we were expanding our 'background fill' options....and looking at designs to fill spaces and shapes. 3 ladies on domestic machines and 1 on the  Sweet 16.

Above Anne stitched out a filler design called living feathers shared by Leah Day on the 'Free-motion quilting project'....love how that looks.

Therese's efforts on the Sweet 16 mastering a feather/scroll background fill.....loved that too!

A full on, fun day.

Some Christmas decorations have been dusted off......may just be getting my mojo back....been missing for a while.

Planning to ignore the housework today....

Inspired.....

This week was a good one. It does happen occasionally.

Quilting went well. A custom is off that took a LONG time. 90% free hand quilting on this one. I couldn't find a scallop pattern that fitted the space well enough so I went with freehand feathers....happy with the corner solution....

Some E-2-e's finished.....

 
"Interlocking feathers"  from Lorien Quilting.....

"Continuous Baptist Fan" from Lorien Quilting....

The week finished with 'Friday Showcase' at QUILT NSW in Pitt St Sydney. Cathy Jack Coupland was the guest artist....so inspiring....loved her work and her work ethic...

I then took the bus out to Material Obsession for a first ever visit....dont know why I waited so long.....lovely shop and workshop space. I think this country girl was nervous about getting herself lost. I bought fabric..... 

Clarinet lesson today.....best get the house work done so I can go.

Have a great week

Small Custom

Small Custom

This small custom was completed this week. I really love how the circular quilting design sits within the square block.

Some all over feathers looked good on this quilt also.

Happy Quilting
