Look at our St Mark’s Quilters last Saturday, heads down in concentration. What you can’t hear is all the conversation and laughter! We’re experts at multi-tasking!

There was -

CUTTING and PIECING

Di B – the pattern of little feet Smile

Gillian’s pinwheels

QUILTING

Margaret was quilting-as-she-went adding delicately coloured scrappy strips directly onto her batting and backing.

Cath finished off this quilt using a large stipple pattern on her machine.

I used my machine’s walking foot to echo the square shapes of my baby quilt.

  2. I smiled all the way through this post. The fabric choices are so perfect for "The Marcia." My smile turned to a huge grin at the end of the post. That Matilda is adorable. I can tell she worked very hard with St. Mark's Quilters.
