My latest quilt has just been published Quilters Companion Magazine - Issue no 50 and it has made the cover which is very thrilling.
It is called Candy Floss due to its slightly pink colourway and is made using a fusing technique so there is NO SEWING except for the quilting. You will be amazed at how quickly and easily it can be made.
Here is a detail of one of the blocks.
It was originally made for a challenge in a group I am in and we had to make a quilt (or something) using only a set of hand dyed pink fabrics and one other fabric. My other fabric was a hand painted piece which gradated from yellow to organge.
Kits are available on my website in this or your favourite colourway.
I have finished the beading on this little quilt. I kept it very simple by just outlining the painted pattern in one of the fabrics.
I think it just adds a bit more interest and texture and is to be a sample in my Textured Treasures workshop.
It obviously got the seal of approval from one of the grandkittens but has since been moved
Thanks also to Dena Crain who has mentioned my Online Beading Course on her blog. I should add that Dena has a great range of online workshops with Quilt University and well worth checking out. Dena lives in Kenya which just shows confirms what a brilliant resource the internet is.
As promised - here are the new quilts which are now available on the website and that are being shown at the AQC this week.
Today was the first day of the show and although my feet are sore - it was wonderful to see so many familiar and friendly faces. Definitely my favourite show of the year.
