    Snaking quilt top

    November 04, 2015

    Thanks to Jacqui Field for this early glimpse of a quilt top in Oakshott as she is waiting for further fabric. Looking forward to seeing the finished item – and learning the name; something to do with paths, or snakes, or ... ? 2015-11JacquiFieldQuiltTop Read more

  • It's a mystery

    It's a mystery

    September 17, 2014

    If you are a member of the Quilter's Guild you'll be aware of the Mystery Row quilt they've been gradually revealing over 2014 in their magazine The Quilter (last row is being revealed in the winter issue). Although it is a member's 'thing' here's a slideshow preview of  some rows so far.  Have you had a peek? Now that is what we call creativity – what a glorious kaleidoscope! Read more

    Earth Gradations

    May 20, 2014

    We've just had a photo of a gorgeous quilt top using a full range of earth elements shot cottons from Sarah at {no} hats in the house, who said:

    I'm a bit partial to the (more underrated?) neutrals in your collection ... so tell me, will you be introducing any browns/tans/etc. back into the lineup?

    and our answer is:

    We still have a few Earth colours left and are likely to be bringing back some earth and tan tones in Autumn 2015.

    Meanwhile feast your eyes on her quilt top and read full details of how Sarah achieved the gradation of colour on the blog: [caption id="attachment_141" align="aligncenter" width="332"]Gradient fill; Layer cake Gradient fill; Layer cake[/caption] Read more
