Stitching News, With Tooting

Tooting time... toot toot toot...
A fabulous and finished sofa throw/ lap size quilt,
made in beautiful, bright and luxurious Batik fabrics...
All this made by the ever so lovely, Steph, 
This is the back of Stephs toot-able Batik beauty...
You've probably guessed already... this lady loves the Batik fabrics... the way they cut, the way they sew, the way they feel... the amazing colours... and remember... I've mentioned before... they smell wonderful when being prrrressed!

Brenda Barbara was quite engrossed in her piecing...
she was very industrious all morning... adding all the sashing with those lovely little corner stones. Then she popped up the step to get the borders chosen and sorted out... it's almost a finished quilt top!!

Fiona Too is making a gifting project... I think I'm right in telling you that it will be a cushion. Fiona searched for a design but, in the end, she drew it all by her very own self... It's the sticky stuff and stitching method of applique, we love this method!

Now then, we have our beginners make this cushion...
It involves a bit of everything giving a great introduction to Patchwork and Quilting... but everyone loves making them... this particular one belongs to Steph, Art Gallery fabric this time... more fabric luxury!!!

And these cushions are the exactly same method, except we scaled up the squares because Sister Susie wanted much larger cushions... I think they will be 24" when they are finished... it's actually very easy to make this cushion any size you like, and we help with the mathemisms!

Carol's been busy stitching at home... all the leaves have been quilted so there was just a little straight line ditch-hopping to finish before trimming off those crusts ready for binding. Carol used two Charm Packs to make this lap size quilt.
