A range of quilts ...or "shaggy" is the new black!


Hi, after tenaciously holding off the full chest cold, sore throat and general miserableness over my sewing weekend, I have finally given up today and cancelled the day's engagements.


We are up to a showcase of progress from the retreat, always great to get to see other's work.


Shaggy quilts seem to be the flavour. We have some new quilters and the design especially appealed to them. It is also a great project to complete in a weekend, though the cutting of all the seams seemed to be a big process. I have never made one myself...I suppose it is somewhere on the list but everyone's good work and ideas on the net keeps relocating its list position!





Jane and her shaggy quilt, I think it would be queen sized. Jane's only been quilting in the past year and already managing to be very prolific, while fitting in teaching as well.








A close up of her fabric choices, actually, I probably don't need to do that, I think everyone knows to click on the photos to make them larger? This quilt now needs to be washed and probably dried in the drier to achieve the shaggy, almost chenille look, in those open seams.




This is Kath's. It is for her grandaughter, another Milly!




Now we have Anne's shaggy. Anne is another very new quilter and I think this is her first quilt finish, after practising on some cushions.




The next is one of Sue's long term project, her colourwash-in progress. She has spent a lot of time sourcing just the right fabrics. I am not sure that one of these would suit my personality!!I would go crazy with this amount of fussiness, but I like them.


Christine's shaggy, which she got together with a minute to spare! Just needs its clipping done.

This is Robyn's kit from the Fat quarter shop. She completely got it together over the weekend, other than attaching that pinned row and I think one more. She may have finished if she hadn't stopped for cocktails........she also got a lot more hand quilting done on the quilt I showed you a few weeks ago after our group met.

Blogger has now decided to go on picture strike so I will post the last few girl's with mine tomorrow, Tracey
