Recent work
Ah, blogger. The last time I posted after a long break it was all too easy. This morning it won’t let me type anything so now I am editing the post I just made!
This quilt is a collation of lots of left over pieces from other projects. I was inspired by the quilt in
“Unexpected and Unconventional. American Quilts Below the Radar”

My recent project has been to go back into that stash of discards to make the latest projects.
What i have been doing is assembling the piece, hand quilting all of it then going back and “mending” the holes. I guess I’m doing my version of “boro”

Ah…log cabin
Is it just me or has this blogging business got more complicated?Or less complicated?Has anyone noticed differences I should know about?Meanwhile...I have kept myself busy making a log cabin quilt.I saw one draped across the foot of the bed in a popular TV show that inspired me. The block placement looked quite random. Got carried away and did another one!
A large proportion of the fabric and thread were "donations" (and these are both BIG quilts)
I have hand quilted them with Wonderfil Spaghetti thread.
It is lovely thread somewhere between the thick Perle thread favoured by some and quilting thread. It is mercerised so pulls through nicely.
