I have been very slack in posting but there are only so many things you can do at once. I have been designing new quilts, teaching said quilts and playing with a new granddaughter.</div>

This is a couple of things I have been doing of late. I will try to more diligent with my postings, but no promises.<br />

This is one of the yummy quilts that I have that were originally made in 1930. I unpicked this quilt, resized so all was square, and sewed it back together.

Boy how time flies. For something to do, I decided to remake my quilt "George's Moment In Time" in these loverly textured fabrics from Japan. Some I bought when I was there in 2010 and others I have collected since.</div>

This beauty is called 'Big Wedding' from Kathy Doughty's book. For all your who think I am slack with my blog, and yes I am, I have also made eight quilts this year, four of which are quilted, two by me. I also have three other quilts that are about the half way mark.<br />

These are are from the 1930's. I bought them as tops and have repaired where necessary with original fabric, which I just happen to have. I have also machine quilted. These quilts get used not stuck away in cupboards. Just love the colours which are a complete opposite to the depression era from which they came. They bring such joy.<br />

A plaza in Nantes. At the time not sure what was ordered as I don't read French. How ever what came was a choc muffin when cut open oozed chocolate served with coffee ice-cream. Thought I had died and gone to heaven.<br />

I dug this yummy quilt out of the cupboard yesterday. When I first bought the friendship blocks there were not sewn as a quilt top and were very uneven I unpicked everything and resized all the pieces and hand stitched it all back together into the top you see in the top photo. I have also hand quilted.<br />
The blocks were originally hand pieced in the 1940's by a group of women in North and South Carolina. Many of whom embroidered their names.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795013145220539414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626560630203705493.post-14183225057694331902015-05-22T15:26:00.001+10:002015-05-22T15:26:44.624+10:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The hexagon quilt and the vases were part of the displays at the quilt show in Nantes just recently. I would have liked to have been able to have packed the vases up to bring home.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795013145220539414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626560630203705493.post-89722197641939267172015-05-16T06:13:00.001+10:002015-05-16T06:13:31.538+10:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is one of my new quilts I have been teaching this year called "Freedom Train North."<br />
It is based around the code used by escaping slaves.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795013145220539414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626560630203705493.post-40602207028055408342015-05-13T06:59:00.000+10:002015-05-13T06:59:16.997+10:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am back from the dead and also back from France. I saw these amazing quilts at a place called Brouage. It is a walled town from the 17th century. The quilts are copies of old quilts and all hand made. A fascinating place and just perfect for old quilts.<div>

It is that time of year again, Summer School in the Blue Mountains. This is where we stayed last year. Lovely misty mornings and lots of gossip and some sewing thrown into the mix. Looking forward to catching up with friends again. Might even get a bit more done to my quilt. If not, then there is always morning tea and cake. I actually do have more done to my quilt, But this is my only picture.<br />
