Today a parcel arrived from Lady Sew and Sew containing 15 metres of lovely Fabric Freedom fabric. They join the Aurifil suitcase as the main prize in a competition run earlier in the year by Patchwork and Quilting magazine. The combination of fabrics and threads have my brain going overtime with ideas. This is the little quilt that is responsible for all this treasure!
Last weekend "Jaggy Thistle " was over the sea in Ireland at the International Quilt Festival of Ireland.
I gather a lot of people missed the quilts that were hanging in the theatre. It was in the Neighbours exhibit.
Wednesday was my birthday and it was rounded off well by the receipt of an email from Chris Porter to say that both the quilts below have been juried into the World Quilt Show in USA later in the year. :o)
"Clarice" and "It started with a Delft Blue Tile!"
These are both pieced and appliqued quilts.
Last but not least my entry for "In the Pink"charity competition got posted off for National Quilt Championships at Sandown .This one is another painted wholecloth. Love using different colouring methods on cloth but the Derwent Inktense pencils are still my first choice!
The rest of the month so far has been taken up with gardening and decorating-----oh and a little dressmaking for GD's Jubilee/Olympics outfit. We have been luckier than much of the rest of the country weather wise and only last night and today have had any wetness worth noting for weeks.

Fantastic quilts and what a fabulous prize!!! Yummy!!
Thank you :o)
I have yearned for one of those Aurifil suitcases so was absolutely delighted to have won one! I am a bit like that with pencils and paints too. There is something magic about a full range of colours isn't there?
