Phew! I’ve finally finished something else for this first quarter of Finish-A-Long 2013! That’s 2 out of 4 (Felix’s Xmas jumper was the other), so 50% percent is not too shabby I guess. If anyone has visited Leanne’s blog for the FAL tutorial’s this week, this quilt will be familiar to you from the Hand …
Just wanted to let you know that you can find my Hand Quilting Tutorial as part of Finish-A-Long 2013 over on Leanne’s She Can Quilt Blog TODAY! As one of the FAL sponsors Leanne asked me if I’d like to do a tutorial and hand quilting is something I have had on my to-do list …
A few weeks back I showed you my attempts to do something with Denyse Schmidt’s Chicopee line. I had attempted some EPP but abandoned it and started on a Cathedral Window project instead. Well here it is all finished, and I am really quite in love with it so there are a lot of photos …

First of all we released the teacher’s names and then last weekend …
Blimey, two and a half weeks since I last posted! After that big Stitch Gathering announcement in my last post I did a quilt show, got ill, did a show at the SECC and taught loads of classes in between – phew! I do manage to pack a lot in but the last few weeks …
