Di B’s made a quilt,
She’s been very busy
It’s bright and it’s fun
And it’s not at all tizzy
The Cat in the Hat
Is the theme of this stunner
For little Francesco
It couldn’t be funner!

More fresh goodness from the hands of the English Quilters
Remember this lovely Lynne Alchin quilt Anne was working on last year?
It’s finished! Anne’s had it professionally quilted and just needs to stitch down the binding.
Like the rest of us, though, she’s already started on her next project, another Lynne Alchin design.
Rae’s our reigning ‘queen of fussy cutting’ as her hexagon rosettes just keep on multiplying in the most exquisite fashion.
Finally, Lyn was busy adding to her collection of Joseph’s Coat ‘petals’ in perfectly co-ordinated 30s pastels.
No wonder I look forward to our monthly get-togethers

Minty freshness
My little red camera was back working hard again last week when I met up with my quilting buddies, the English Quilt girls, at Robbie’s home.
Our little visitor for the day, Minty, a West Highland Terrier pup, couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw all the cleverness these girls had been up to, particularly their hand quilting.
Gail’s started to hand quilt her Liberty print Joseph’s Coat.
Robbie’s using perle cotton and larger stitches as a feature on this happy little quilt for her baby granddaughter.
Jill spent most of last year perfecting her hand applique on her Deauville quilt, a Chris Jurd pattern.
Now it’s all finished and she’s enjoying quilting it after marking her lines with tape.
More to come

While the Cat was away…
With the mischievous Di B running the show in March, the St Mark’s Quilters played.
First up there was plenty of inspiration for our newbie quilters with this beautiful quilt Barb made and quilted herself. Great work, Barb, and cute indeed!
Then, with the more experienced quilters like Moo left to work on their quilts, Di gave her attention to the third lesson for our newbies.
Coffee first, for Maud and Sarah.
Sophie and Judy and Susan made sandwiches (the quilt kind).
And Caroline made a start on the machine quilting.
Looks like I missed a fun day.
What did Di B say, I wonder, that made them all laugh so much? Any suggestions?
