Month: July 2023

I am thrilled that my quilt ‘Coming Home’ was selected for inclusion in The Houston International Quilt Show 2023. It has been carefully packed and sent off to the USA for it’s first international adventure.

My local quilting group have been working on a monthly sewing challenge, where a new block is released at the beginning of each month. It is a sampler quilt with sashings.

I have completed the quilt to provide examples of how it can be quilted. I used straight line and scalloped quilting with rulers. It was great for refining my skills. In some of the blocks I added free motion feathers and circle patterns to add interest.

We are also looking at ways to machine bind a quilt, so this was my first attempt at a flange binding. I am really pleased with the end result. A great exercise for practicing your piecing, ruler quilting and binding techniques.
