I can scarce believe it but apart from hand sewing five sentinelles are done! it's been a marathon of sewing and the bindings are on all but one and the sixth one is basted and set to go- so some more marathon sewing.I haven't worked this hard in a long time and I used up two queen sized batts- so thank you
Victorian Textiles for your kind sponsorship of Matilda's Own wool polyester batting!
On the
Workshop front.....
There are still some places available for my 5th of May workshop at the
European Quilt Championship- in the Netherlands Gypsy Blanket Collage. I have posted an image of the gypsy blanket just to remind you what it looks like- we will be working a bit smaller as it is only a one day workshop but the idea is to create contrasts and harmonies with thread!
I am also teaching this workshop in France at
Best of Quilting in Marcoussis on the 24th of May and I am also teaching free motion quilting ( Pique Libre) at best of Quilting on 31st of May.
It will be your last chance to do workshop with me for awhile in Europe because as a single parent travelling has become difficult to arrange as someone needs to be home for my daughter.

They look great, Dijanne! And so does the gypsy blanket.
How's your back after so much sewing...
Your sentinelles look great. Hope to see some at the end of May
My back is very sore- had to stop sewing on number six yesterday evening and go for a walk. You will see them in the end of May as I will have them with me- unless I sell some...
What about this add for Gucci? It fits you so much ... !!!
The gypsy blanket is alive with color. Love it. Your delightful surface work will surely compel me to do some free motion stitching. At present, I collage very small pieces of fabric and follow this with decorative hand stitching. Thank you for many new ideas! Stop by and see what I do. http://kbartdesigns.com
I absolutely love the gypsy blanket. It makes me want to go into my sewing room - thank you!!
love the look of the sentinals- congratulations
the sentinels are fantastic, I hope you do some more to this series
This can't work in reality, that is exactly what I suppose.
