I have achieved two milestones this week based around the same quilt.
I have finally finished my Gaudi inspired quilt which I have called Gaudi Star which is part of my Houston Exhibition and was previewed here in little bits and pieces a few weeks ago.
I was such a breeze to quilt on my Handiquilter Sweet 16 that I didn't want to stop
And the second milestone is that this quilt was also my final assessment piece for my City and Guilds Patchwork and Quilting Course Level 3 which I have been doing for over two years. And it has passed!
I am notoriously bad at finishing courses - even with the best will in the world so this one has been happening in the background and at a snail's pace forever. I am so lucky that my tutor Marie Roper has been a patient and encouraging person. I did the course through Linda and Laura Kemshall's Design Matters in the UK and can not speak highly enough about their inspiration and encouragement. I love their Design Matter TV as well and if you join up - please let them know that I recommended it - you'll love it.

The painting transforms it - love the jewel colours. I also have photos of those paving patterns, and I am amazed at your screens from them.
Congrats on the show and the final assessment. You have inspired me to enrol with the Kemshalls, which I have dithered about for ages. Now the pound is so low against both our dollars, it's a good time.
Congratulations Lisa! The quilt is great! (Ah to have a sweet 16. 6hours yesterday of quilting small buubles nearly killered me!)
Well done getting to the end of the course (I'm up to mudule 3 of 8 - it seems never ending at the moment).

It's beautiful Lisa. Well done! Love the colours.
Now because of you I bought a sweet 16 on Friday. Can you believe it, I signed up on Thursday to do the City & Guilds course! I didn't know you were doing it. Amazing! :) I am stalking you without knowing it!
Oh wow, Lisa! It was certainly worth all that work and angst. It's beautiful.
Congrats on passing your course, too! You're a star and an inspiration to us lesser mortals! :)
That's a faaaabuuuuloussss! quilt Lisa, Well done! You are so inspiring. Congratulations on finishing the City and Guilds course too. Quite an achievement.
Gorgeous - it just glows.
Lisa, that is amazing! All the work in that and it just radiates those yummy colors! Well done!
