This is Pendle Hill. My start of it. Never has a day gone by so fast. Great company and a lovely atmosphere.
Once the urn was stitched, time to do a bit of flower arranging. This quilt has a lot of broderie perse and there will be a lot of cutting out in my future.
Part of the quilt has a border of 5/8 inch pentagons fussy cut. Oh my goodness! If you like hexagons then you will love this. I can see this being highly addictive. These three are ready to assemble. I have five completed and another four cut ready.
Today I have been to Cowslip for a weekend of stitching with Di. I have had my head down and worked hard on my applique. Hopefully I shall be able to show you the next stage soon.
This is a small section of Di's quilt. Yet to be finished and will not be revealed until publication of her next book which I am sorry to say will not be out until 2017. Plenty to keep me going until then.
Just look at those pentagons and that applique.
I sat opposite a lovely lady today named Jackie who said she followed my blog. I had no idea and had not met her before so, this post is for you Jackie.
Happy Stitching.
Shirley.
Oh, my what another wonderful opportunity. The start of this new quilt is so beautiful and full of all of the special touches of Di. Okay, I'd better get going on some of my projects so I'll be ready for 2017.
