Spring has finally arrived, I think. We have had a really mild winter this year, too much rain but very little snow....trouble is this kind of warmer spring weather, (hard frosts in the morning and bright sunshine days), makes you a little complacent, next week could be back to cold sharp winds....
The sheep are lambing thick and fast, cows are calving and although there are always problems all seems right with the world outside.
In my little bubble of a sewing room pantographs seemed to be the order of the month. Well, I'm a little late to post these as some were quilted up last month.
Quilt Path has been quilting up a storm, it's good to be able to change up the density of the designs to suit my customers likes and needs.
This is a fun quilt for Carols Grandson, it was difficult to catch the quilting design against the busy fabrics, I used Dave Hudson's 'dinosaurs' pattern, lovely fabrics for a child's quilt.
Not to be left out this quilt is for Carol's DH, love this piecing design. Carol sent the tops and backing to me in the post, left me to choose the quilting and was very happy with Buzz by Hermione Agee as my choice, it's a buzz saw type design, great for men. This quilt had a very dark backing fabric (Chocolat by Three Sisters), and was also a little difficult to capture the quilting but the circular design against the geometric lines was just striking...
I seem to be having a bit of a run on these 'trip around the world' type quilts....it's amazing how different they all look but strangely I don't seem to have taken a full photo of this one (note to self... when things settle down a bit time wise, I must remember to spend more time taking photos for reference). Jane chose 'feathered leaves' by One Song Needle Arts, it was a great match, this is a big quilt...
Next in line, a raffle quilt for one the local quilt groups. Souter Quilters in Selkirk, will be having their exhibition in June, some of the ladies pieced up this quilt to raise money for funds. again I was left to choose a design, this is Florance by Anne Bright, I quilted it with an open density for a softly draping quilt
This one is now off to the binder and will be finished very soon.

The clock has been counting down since June 2013, the official start of the Common Riding which is the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Hornshole is 5th June but Rideouts start 4/5 weeks before that on 10th May...not long at all.....
Tick Tock....

I'm not sure there is anything cuter than a wee lamb. Your quilting is gorgeous as usual
