Celtic Intertwined Hearts

This was part of a wedding present. I worked this using Italian cord quilting-thought it was about time I did some hand sewing. I embellished it with some little pearl clusters.

The Angel Quilt

This little quilt was made as part of a

Christmas present for my two great nieces.

They've now requested 'dragon' quilts for their birthdays. Watch this space...

A Good Day Out

I had a lovely day out yesterday with my quilting group. Went to see a fabulous exhibition of the Quaker tapestry-it's a hanging that tells the story of 350 years of Quaker experience.There are 77 panels and more than 4,000 men, women and children in 15 countries have contributed to it. It was started in 1981 and finished in1996.

After lunch we were lucky enough to be in the cathedral when an inspirational talk was just beginning. Liz Wall a textile artist from Southport in Lancashire showed amazing works of raw-edged applique which encompasses animals and plants. Her most oustanding work was of 2 chasubles (ecclesiastical garments) which werejust wonderful...talk about being in the right place at the right time!
