New quilt for a course next year

18/7/2014

 

'The ones that got away'         Midsomer Quilting, May 16th and 17th  2015

The original version of this quilt, 'Sardine Run', was on display at Radstock Museum earlier this year. Following lots of very nice feedback from visitors, Chris from Midsomer Quilting has asked me to run two one day courses next year, teaching the techniques I used to make it.

Given that the original quilt took a few weeks to make, I decided to design a smaller version for the courses that can be completed in one day. I don't know about you, but generally, when I go on a course I feel much more satisfied when I know I have something that is mostly completed. Obviously it depends on the type of course, but for me, what turns a good course into great one is knowing I have learned as many new skills and techniques as I need to finish the piece of work. 

 With this design my aim is that you will go home happy!
 If you would like to learn the techniques I used to make this quilt then please contact De*** at Midsomer Quilting on 01761 239333  to book your place.  

I look forward to seeing you.

***De has very kindly offered to put together a kit with small pieces of a variety of suitable fabrics and other embellishments should you wish to purchase that. It might work out to be more economical to buy the kit as you need  a lot of small pieces of net, organza, cotton fabric etc. Speak with De for more details closer to the date of the course if you wish to have one.***

Quilting Arts TV Series 14

11/7/2014

 
If you are lucky enough to live in a part of the US that shows Quilting Arts TV on PBS television you will know that Series 14 has just begun. If, like me, you don't then you can see the shows on DVD instead. 

Today I received an email letting me know that the quilts from the 'In the Garden' challenge are featured in episode one.  I haven't seen the video yet, but I must say, I am quite excited to see my quilt alongside all the others in the video.

Check out the video preview for the new season of “Quilting Arts TV”:

The new season of QATV starts in July (check here to find when/if it is running in your area:
 http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/qatv_series_1400/content/QATVSchedule.aspx )

 

A DVD or video download of the entire season is available for purchase.  Individual episodes eventually go on sale, too, but probably not until next year.
