Well, last weekend was AMQF and I really can't tell you when I have been so busy. Luckily for me all of that out-of-control ...

Samen met Bep ben ik vorige week naar Denemarken geweest. Het was geweldig! Zo noordelijk was ik nog nooit op ons halfrond geweest. Al waren we geen toeristen en moesten we toch wel een eindje rijden we hebben lekker "uit het raampje" gekeken. We gingen met een veerboot van Puttgarden over naar Radbyhavn. Vroeger deed ik alles met een kaart. Nu ben ik geheel afhankelijk van m'n GPS. Jammer, want soms heb ik geen benul waar ik ben! Maar goed, de reis verder naar Koge was voorspoedig en na een heerlijk maal bij onze eerste gastvrouw Hanne, gingen we nog even naar haar prachtige winkel om de hoek, Patchwork Butikken. Er was nog les en de dames waren met de fiets! De volgende dag aan de slag! Lezing met quilts, een Broderie Perse workshop en een heerlijke avondmaaltijd Tussendoor zijn we even een stukje gaan wandelen door het prachtige Koge. We liepen door de langs het huisje van Roodkapje?? Haar grootmoeder woonde in het bos, maar waar Roodkapje woonde? Misschien wel hier We kwamen langs het oudste huisje van Koge en nog veel meer prachtige panden in de mooiste kleuren. Alles was zo schoon en mooi in de verf. Een regelrechte lust voor 't oog. Dit stond buiten bij een bloemenwinkel buiten en daar moest gewoon een foto van De volgende dag al vroeg op pad naar Ann van Patchwork Huset. Ook hier, quilts en een workshop; deze keer hexagonnen. De dames waren er klaar voor En ook hier hadden we weer een waanzinnig leuke dag! Nog even een broodje in een leuk zakje :-) En dan aan 't eind van de dag op weg naar onze laatste bestemming: Helene Juul design in Hasselager, waar we deze prachtige Mrs Billings zagen Ook hier weer een warm onthaal en wat foto's betreft, voor mij een makkie ;-), want Helene's man is fotograaf! Fijne (kijk)dag!

WAR QUILTS EXHIBITION Curated by Dr Annette Gero Venue details: Manly Art Gallery & Museum, West Esplanade, Manly NSW 2095 Exhibition launch: Friday 3 July 2015, 6 - 8pm Exhibition dates: 3 July - 22 November 2015 Open: 10am - 5pm Tuesday- Sunday Entry: Free This year marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. Gallipoli (2015) is a particularly significant event in the Australian WW1 memory. To mark this event, Manly Art Gallery and Museum has taken the initiative by putting on an exhibition of War Quilts from all wars. Waves of migration have resulted in many people from all over the world bringing their own quilts from their home countries when they have settled in Australia. These visual masterpieces date from 1770 through to the end of World War 2, and include many Crimean War Quilts including one made from 15,000 pieces. The quilts have been made from a variety of textiles, ranging from soldiers uniforms through to “mum’s make do” quilts made here in Australia after the war from blackout fabric. Dr Annette Gero will give a talk about the history and story behind each of the quilts in the exhibition at the Gallery on Sunday 12th July 2015 from 2 to 3pm. The War Quilts Exhibition will also be published as a book, about the same size as “The Fabric of Society” E mail [email protected] to reserve your copy at 30% discount

Goedemorgen lieve allemaal, zin in wat foto's van,... je zag het al, 't Billingsboerinnetje? De Ufo die uit de kast gehaald is, en mijn quiltwerkje van elke dag is. Deze week zijn van de dwarrelblokjes lange slierten gemaakt, en, aan het middenstuk vastgezet. Even kijken of het al iets wordt,... met zo'n dwarrelblokjessliert,... volgende sliert,... ;o) Het geel is erg aanwezig, maar, ik weet nog heel goed dat ik dat ook van het blauw vond, en het oranje,.. en,... dus daar heb ik het nu niet meer over. ;o) Ben gewoon blij met wat er af is. En wat is er af? 2 Dwarrelblokjesslierten, boven en onder, die zitten vast. 1 Dwarrelblokjessliert, links, zit nog niet vast. En dan moet er nog een sliert gemaakt worden, van dwarrelblokjes,... Dus, het Billingsboerinnetjevloerkleed weer over de stoel gehangen,... Want ze lag wel erg in de weg. En, mocht ik zin heb in quilten, dan liggen de laatste dwarrelblokjes op een stapeltje klaar. Fijne zaterdag lieve allemaal, ik ga zo even naar de bakker, het is nu nog geen half 8, en dan? #blijfthuis. Hou je taai,

Reproduction quilt by Petra Prins from an antique quilt found in An Noonan's A History of Dutch Quilts . Somehow Americans have lost most...

I have to admit that lately I've been starting a lot more quilts than I've been finishing, but I have however finally finished my Midnight at the Oasis quilt a pattern by Jen Kingwell. I did enjoy this project for the main part. I foundation pieced the center of the quilt as well as the outer blocks instead of sewing in the traditional method. The applique was my first ever attempt at any sort of applique so it was a learning process for me. My bias stems were a bit ackward and I used freezer paper to make my shapes instead of doing a needle turn. This was also a first attempt at making a Medallion quilt as well. I was fairly pleased that it remained perfectly square and exact until I got to the final border, which required me to do some finessing to get square again. I think what took me so long to finish this quilt was the fact that it is really not all that big in size. I seriously struggle making small quilts as I don't see them as being as usable. My practical nature doesn't want a small quilt for looking at, it wants a large quilt to snuggle underneath, which this size quilt does not offer. That played a large part in deciding how I would quilt it. I threw snuggly out the window and decided this would be a wall hanging, which gave me allowance to quilt it to "death", something I usually prefer not to do even though it is fun and looks cool. I entered it in the local show last week, it won a first in the Applique section after the stewards changed the category from Machine Pieced/Machine Quilted to Applique. It was the only entry in the category. Hee hee...

I can't believe I've just typed that heading! When I made the block for January 1st 2016 I could not have imagined the journey this quilt would have taken me on. So make yourselves comfortable and grab a cup of tea, because this blog post may get lengthy! I'd seen the 365 Quilt Challenge on Facebook. I think every quilter on Facebook must have been aware of it. Loads of my friends had signed up and it kept popping up as a "Page you might like" thing. In the end, in November 2015, I joined the group, had a poke round. Decided it wasn't for me. One of the things that really put me off were the fabric requirements: you needed x amount of dark dark fabric, x amount of medium dark fabric, x amount of dark medium, medium, light medium, light, background.... I just couldn't get my head round those requirements. I'd looked at the mock ups on the wesbite and couldn't bring myself to pick a colour. I put it to the back of my mind. But I had obviously at some point subscribed to the emails, and when the first few popped up in my inbox, I though "these seem easy - I'll have a go". I think it was then, about 4th January 2016, with no real plan that I had the idea for my colour scheme. Once I had seen how the blocks were turning out, I knew that I could use a dark background and then any colour I wanted and still end up with "dark block", especially if, when it came to the light blocks I used a light background with the colours I liked. Out came my daughter's crayons and I had a plan. I'd like to remind you, that at this point, I was five months pregnant. Doesn't everyone take on a mammoth project the year they're due to give birth to their second child? Up until the end of March, I kept up to date. And by 17th April, just three days before Jess was born, I had completed the centre of the medallion and the first dark border. I knew, as Jessica's birth approached, that even if I never made another block again, at I had completed something that would stand as a quilt in it's own right, albeit a small one. It was around this time, that the best aspect of this quilt became apparent. I had joined a UK based Facebook group for the 365 quilt, and I have never experienced a group come together like we did: we got to know each other, we chatted, and as Jessica's due date came and went, everyone wanted to know.... And once she's arrived, and I'd posted to let everyone know, I got the loveliest congratulations for "Our 365 Baby". Inevitably, I took a break, not from sewing entirely, but from this project, in the weeks after Jess was born. I was still sewing (it truly does keep me sane), but not this. I did the odd block through May and into June and by this time last year, I was 42 blocks behind. At the worst point I hit 84 blocks behind. And I'm not going to lie, it was a mammoth effort to pull myself back. I found that spending a day or so cutting the fabric for the next chunk of blocks and then piecing a bit here and there in spare minutes really worked - I had quite the system going! The 6" blocks released in May and June last year were absolute stinkers. We were dragged into this project with the exceptionally easy 3"blocks in January, but by midsummer we were ploughing through 6" blocks with more pieces than I care to think about. The blocks were beautiful though - not your bog standard churn dashes and pinwheels, but complex and beautiful - some of the half square triangle units finish at less than half an inch in some of the blocks. What I found truly amazing is that some of the blocks I would have thought were impossible without foundation piecing or using templates, but through careful cutting, corner covering and angles, every single block was rotary cut without the need for templates! These were the pieces for just one of the 6" blocks.... By mid-September I was back up to date and on the 21st September we moved from the sublime to the ridiculous with the instructions: "Trim the half square triangle units to 1 and 7/32". And so ensued a discussion: does one say "thirty-secondths" or "thirty-seconds" or my preferred option "thirty-tooths"? The girls (and guy) on the Facebook group cried with you on those days, and we heaved a collective sigh of relief on the days when the block was "easy". Easy is, however, a relative and changeable term, and what I classed as easy in September was definitely not what I would have classed as easy back in January! Then came the 12" blocks for the corners. Kathy, who designed the quilt, outdid herself. These blocks were absolutely horrific little stinkers. So. Many. Pieces. So many covered corners to get the right way. Y-seams.Each 12" block was genuinely the equivalent of making 16 of the hardest 3" blocks. But there was another block released the next day already. On 8th January 2017, I made the final block - just a week behind! And it was some block - Y seams all over the place. But I will never, ever be scared of a Y-seam again! And then I hit a slump. the next step was to add the final borders. And if you've read this blog for some time, you'll know that sashing, and long seams are my least favourite part of the process. I did bits here and there. But it wasn't until 5th February, that I finally added the the last of the pieced borders and a final, plain black border to tie it all together. And the reason I did it on that particular day. It was a weekend. But it was also a beautiful day - there was no wind and lots of bright sunshine. Which meant once finished, I could lay the quilt in our front garden and hang out of the bedroom window to photograph it, without it being blown into the North Sea - which is normally the case! I knew we wouldn't get another day like that. Next up was backing fabric. On such a special quilt, I splashed out and order Tula Pink Free Fall from the US. I then bundled up the quilt and the backing and entrusted it to Royal Mail to get it over to Cath in Cumbria. We'd hatched a plan. I decided towards the end of 2016, that I wouldn't quilt this one myself. It's the first time I'd ever contemplated not quilting a quilt myself. But with so many seams, I knew that if I tried to quilt it myself, I would break needles, snap thread and generally get very cross with the quilt.So I asked for contributions towards the cost of long-arming for my birthday, and got in touch with Cath Brough who is Cumbrian Long Armer. Michael and I had a holiday to the Lakes planned for late March and she confirmed that she could get it quilted and was happy for us to pick it up in person. So at the end of March, we went to see her and picked up this monster of a quilt. The work she had done on it was stunning, and the quilting made it come alive. I chose a bubbles pantograph as I felt an all-over design would not detract from the piecing, which really is the star of the show! I brought the quilt home, trimmed it. And then did nothing. The prospect of binding it didn't really appeal. Inevitably I left it until midsummer to hand sew over nearly 400" of binding. And you know what - it took no time at all - two hours to make the matched binding and attach it to the front of the quilt and then four nights in front of the TV to hand sew it down. And the quilt was finished. And I love it. And I cannot believe that I did it. Here is the THE photo from our recent photo shoot at Seaton Delaval Hall. I learned so much from this quilt: although I was already quite an experienced quilter, this improved my accuracy without a doubt. It taught me some organisational skills which have proved invaluable - such as cut out a load of blocks, hold them together with clips and pin them to a noticeboard - this is a great way of sewing for a busy mum who grabs moments here and there. Everything is where I need it and in manageable chunks! I realised that I don't like having my quilts long-armed. That is absolutely nothing against Cath - she did a fabulous job, I love the effect, and she was such a helpful and friendly person. But I don't like the fact that I didn't complete this quilt from beginning to end. Of course, if I had decided to quilt it myself, you may not be reading this post now! Or ever! I learned that a support group can be fantastic - the lovely ladies (and Bruce) over on the Facebook group have cheered me on when I fell behind, congratulated me when I achieved minor miracles and laughed over thirty-tooths with me. I think if it weren't for them, you wouldn't be reading this post either. So here are some stats and facts for you: This quilt was a stash quilt. Although I did have to buy some of the "light" and "dark" fabrics I used as my backgrounds, all of the coloured fabrics came from my stash. I would love to say it was a scrap quilt, but while it does have a scrappy look, with hundreds of different fabrics, and no cohesive background fabric, it actually created more scraps than it used! The family crazy was never far away - even during the final photo shoot! The finished quilt is made up of 365 "blocks" either 3" (all of which are dark) or 6" (all of the lights are 6" and there are a few darks too). There are 4 12" blocks, one in each corner, and the centre medallion was (I think) 10 days worth of "blocks" including the four light 6" corner blocks. As a group we were daft enough to add up the total number of pieces in the quilt to 10909 (with some variation as some of us used slightly different blocks - but I'm not counting my own quilt to give you an exact figure!). It finishes at 94" x 94" and I completed it with a scrappy matched binding. The next adventure for this quilt, if I get my act together and add a hanging sleeve, will be in Birmingham. Twenty of us from that Facebook group will be hanging our quilts at the Festival of Quilts in August in a special exhibit. I won't be able to go in person, but if you're planning on going, I'm sure my quilt would love to see you there! This is a Finish Along finish! You can find my original list here.

I love many different types of quilts but am especially fond of Medallions or Frame quilts, with a special weakness for the unsophisticated ones which can look a bit unplanned. I categorise them as Country Medallions and would like to share a few with you. This is the one that started me thinking - It's a fragment that was sold on USA eBay. Not sure where it's from but I was inspired by it. I am working on samples of Broderie Perse at the moment and this came up on my Google search. I love the lovely faded look of the squares and if I didn't have so many projects on the go I would love to make up something similar and extend it. Here are some more of my favourites - This one I discovered recently, it's from Weardale in Yorkshire and it has a lovely folk art look - The one below I particularly like but I don't know whether it is old or new. It was a pattern from Patchwork at Stonleigh called the Cotswold quilt. I don't know if it was based on an original old quilt or anything about its history. If anyone knows, I would be grateful for any information. Lastly here is one on a bed - This is a bedroom in the country home in the Cotswolds of Stanley Falconer, who was a senior designer at Colfax and Fowler. I found pictures of it in an American magazine and thought it was a dream house - I loved every room in that house! Now when I look at it I am not so enamoured, my taste must have changed and I now find this bedroom a bit too fussy! The quilt probably wouldn't have been made for such a sophisticated room, it is Colfax and Fowler introducing a little bit of dressing down country charm into their rather expensive decoration - something of trademark of theirs!
