I also managed to finish the quilt top of my medallion quilt, ‘ President’s Pride‘. Although I’m in no particular hurry to complete it, I still managed to get twelve 8” blocks completed towards the fifty that i need, so I’m happy with my progress. My Civil War Sampler will also be a full sized quilt one day too. With that done, she then began making splendidly large flying geese blocks towards a full size scrappy quilt called ‘Due South’ taken from a new quilting book from Carrie Nelson ‘ Miss Rosie’s Farmhouse Favourites.’ (Lovely title.) The pattern she used was the ‘Mosaic Ohio Star Quilt’ by Jackie Taylor. I know she told me the name, but I’ve forgotten it, so I’ll have to refresh my memory with the details when we next get together.Īngie decided to do a little scrap busting and got most of a table topper quilt done – I think it just needs some outer border fabric to finish it off. She took her pattern from a monthly quilting magazine. She dipped in and out of other work but still managed to create a good number of them. Tracy began work on a full size quilt made up of sawtooth stars. If first experience had taught us anything, it was not to try and rush through to the end of our chosen projects, but to take our time and enjoy the journey. I’m sure she enjoyed herself because she tells me she is boring the pants off her non-quilting pals with talk of it. For Tracy, it was her first opportunity to see for herself what we had been chattering on about for the previous six months. But oh, it was glorious while it lasted.Īngie and I went to our first quilting weekend way back in November of last year, so we knew what to expect, but that didn’t make it any the less enjoyable. So our longed for weekend quilting retreat at the Mount Hotel in Wolverhampton finally arrived and then zip, there it was in the rearview mirror.
