It was a rather busy weekend! I made the Purl Soho Vege Patch quilt for our wall in the hall. It's the first time I've done machine applique, but it worked out ok and given it is machine quilted, went together pretty quickly (as opposed to the French provincial style quilt that I am still hand quilting 12 months later...thank goodness for the new Ottlite!).
I'ts nice to have a change from the small Baltimore wall quilt that has graced the wall for the last 8 or 9 years and Baldrick would be very proud of the turnips!
The trials and tribulations of someone who would like to consider herself a textile artist (amongst other things), but invariably feels quite inadequate!

Hello, again!
Been away from the bloggersphere for quite a while...no proper excuse, other than there's been other stuff to do!
What's been happening? I've had a 'special' birthday; been to the Australasian Quilt Convention and took Linda Steele's Scottish Reel class> Her quilts are quite magnificent, As you can see:
Also, the Creative Quilting course is continuing, slowly (very!, but surely:
I'm still on the drawing/colour/painting module, but getting towards the end.
Thankfully, given this week's wintry weather, I've been able to keep warm with my hand quilting!
