Had a busy, tiring week, ending with a trip to the Autumn Quilt Show in Malvern. A long journey there and back as Fridays are always extra busy on the motorways, but we all really enjoyed it.
Winter Village, Attic Window Quilt.
This week I finished this Christmas quilt in double quick time.
A fairly small quilt and it measures 42 inches x 50 inches.
My friend Josie told me about the tutorial video for it on Missouri Star Quilt Co site and I wanted to try it out. It was so quick and easy to make, especially with the help of the excellent video instruction. I have found that MSCO tutorials are so easy to follow and their presenter Jenny gives good hints, tips and shortcuts for the easy ways to make quilts.
I love the 3D effect it gives of the scene through the windows.
Here's a taster of the Malvern Show.......So many fabulous stands
The Contented Cats
Tudor Rose
Lots of dolls and Christmas makes on display.
some of my favourite exhibits......
mind bogglingly amazing detail.....
loved these small arty quilt hangings.....
a great way to use up scraps.
The black really makes the pinwheels pop giving a 3D look. Simple but clever.
This close up of a large quilt really shows the quality and detail of the exhibits.

Hi Jo, thanks for the visit to mine and your kind comments. I love looking at your work, the Christmas quilt is gorgeous. I taught textiles for over 30 years so very much enjoy popping over to see what you're up to. Best wishes and happy crafting, Angela x
Hi Jo,
Your quilt is amazing! I honestly don't know if I'd be able to sew a straight line!! The show looks like it was a lot of fun and I can just imagine as a quilter how dazzling and exciting all the quilts, dolls ad other things made would be a bit overwhelming but fun!
Hugs,
Kay
Wow! What beautiful quilts! I like your 3d Christmas quilt. (same technique as the 3d pin wheels)

Enjoyed your photos of the quilt show but that Winter Village Attic Window Quilt is something else. I wish you had brought it with you so I could see it. Next time please. It is absolutely fantastic!

I had planned to visit sooner, but of course, I got caught up in real life events. Your quilt is phenomenal. I like that the blocks are all different, except one. It really makes you look.
The Malvern show was wonderful. Of course, I like the art quilts, but the traditional ones are really over the top. I'm so glad you shared them.
Your quilt is fantastic, what an amazing effect - gorgeous!! the show looks wonderful too, and well worth the trip.
