Janice's Quilts |
|
I started quilting in early 2000 and I love the way it brings together creativity and practicality. I have sewn for many years and dabbled in other arts and crafts but nothing else has 'taken hold' as much as quilting. I am still learning the craft but I have big plans!!

As yet, this quilt, an illustration for a children's verse, is only stuck down with vliesofix. I intend to machine embroider it extensively and add a large border of squashed and stretched standard blocks. |
| This is also an unfinished quilt. I think it will have another border before I layer and quilt it. I started the centre part in a Ruth B McDowell workshop and added the three borders later. The six large delphinium florets in the second border are repeats of one of the florets on the centre delphinium stem. |  |

This quilt is the result of a Club Challenge. The Triple F challenge. We were randomly allocated a fat quarter to use and the patterns for a number of large, medium and small size blocks were given out each month for 3 months. |
| We were then free to put the blocks together as we chose. I put most of the set blocks on point to make a much larger quilt than most of the others entered. It is now my dining table cover | |
