<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was invited by the Quilting Twins to visit Bridge Quilters at their Widnes venue and enjoyed a really super day with all the ladies there.... and lovely cake too. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Thanks so much to everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I talked about my journey into quilting, showing and telling about some of my makes after which I helped members finish their Windmill Bags. I also gave instructions for making my Liberty Petal Scarves and a few other easy items. Here are a few photos of the results of the day. Lots of super makes and how different the bags look in the contrasting colour choices and fabric designs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The scarf was just demonstrated to be constructed at home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There was a wonderful array of colours, fabrics and techniques to be seen so I am showing a range of them in various stages. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been quiet here on my blog since Christmas but not in my stitching. My machine has been whizzing away and my fingers have been hand stitching too. The proof is below but I cannot yet show my biggest project, which I started on Boxing Day and finished before the end of January. I finally made a quilt for my daughter's marriage which was September 2016. due to all the problems we have had I could not begin to think about it and my daughter told me to make it whenever I felt up to it. I am pleased that it is finished but I want to give it to her personally to share her reaction.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently played around with some of my Liberty Hexagons and I really enjoyed making the cushion below, and I love the result too.</span></div>

No tree up yet but I have made this bunting swag for the fire place. I made three in total and gave one to a friend who was desperate to have one and the other, a much bigger one, is almost finished ready for my South West daughter to decide if warrants approval to hang over her large fireplace in her new Devon home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since posting I have had a request about a pattern to make the triangles for the bunting but I was unable to reply. The following might help......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pennants are all of varying lengths between 20 and 25 cms and widths of approx 9 to 12 cms. This is just a guide and they can be quite easily be made longer or shorter to suit individual locations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They are very casually made just with a toning backing, fabrics stitched right sides face to face then turned inside out and pressed. I zig zagged across the tops before arranging and stitching them onto a ribbon or cord for hanging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As easy as can be! The balance of the colour scheme and the variable lengths makes the finished item a little bit different and unusual than the spaced out traditional bunting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas is creeping into our house. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My back has been playing up, due to all the work clearing my late friend's house, so I've been sitting and cutting these paper house silhouettes to decorate our front window. Whilst I was on a short trip to my daughter in Germany last week, she asked me to make some for her and I loved them so much I decided to cut some for my own home. The designs are from the main buildings in her pretty little German town and the centre one is their Rathaus (town hall). Must cut out another reindeer for Santa!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a good day at the Christmas Fair despite the bad weather, wind and rain all day people, (and even Father Christmas) paid us a visit. We took hardly any items back home with us and a fair bit of cash has gone between a charity, our group and some to the church funds. Thanks to everyone who supported and helped us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Christmas Fair to be held in the Millennium Centre at St Mary's Church, West Derby Village, Liverpool 12, on Saturday 25th November. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our quilt group has been invited to participate so I have been busy making small items for our table. Here's a quick post showing some of my results.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I loved making several of these decorations, an idea I found on pinterest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An easy peasy make to hang on a wall with simple padded fabric houses attached to twigs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A little home spun style embroidery enhances the windows and doors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Back to making the wreaths again that I have also made in past years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5" fabric squares, stitched in half, and padded before tying tightly on to a wire ring with rustic string or ribbon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Easy to make but about 40 squares are needed for each wreath. It's a good idea to get together with a few other people to swap squares to gain more varity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't like to mention it, but where has time gone! It is months since my last post, May in fact, but life threw a curve ball that I had to deal with. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My friend died in June after a long painful period of time in hospital and nursing homes and as a result we have had to pick up the pieces and clear her home and remains of her life. Hard in many ways both physically and mentally. Life goes on and we are finally coming to grips with it all and at last I have managed a little burst of crafting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some few months ago before I was otherwise involved, I made a Christmas bauble at a Quilters Guild workshop, given by the talented quilter, Emma Galbraith, and I really enjoyed it even though to me it was totally the wrong time to be making Christmas items. As a result I started playing around with the original idea and I have made so many ready to give to friends and family. With no sewing, or even glue, involved they are so quick and easy to produce as the fabric only has to be pushed into the styrofoam balls. Cord, braid or ribbon hides any imperfections and defines the segments. It's a great way to use up small scraps of fabric too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The 8cm balls are 2 for £1 in "The Works"book/craft shop but in bulk on the net they are available at only 30p each.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No blogging for me for a while as, due to a friend's illness, I have been busy and occupied elsewhere for much of my time so I turned to small UFOs when ever I had a few spare minutes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Almost three years ago, my DD2 treated me to some fabulous Kaffe Fassett fabric to make a quilt just for myself. It is always hard to cut into any special gorgeous treasured fabric and I stroked it and drooled over it from time to time but recently I decided to go for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First I made a big Stash & Slash quilt top which is now ready for sandwiching and finishing but there were enough scraps left over plus one spare Stash & Slash Block. I used the block as the central feature and added, joined and bodged together lots of the small pieces to make this extra 1.5 yard square gem. I am so pleased to see it finished and looking like this instead of just a bundle of scraps in a basket.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was manageable enough to machine quilt it myself and I stitched in the ditch over the main body with random waves around the border. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even the binding is made from scraps joined together </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My Easy Peasy Bags</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have made several of these easy peasy bags for friends and they proved very popular, so I thought I would make some towards the sales table at our July exhibition.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My first attempts were made using strips of batik but any choice of patchwork or quilting is suitable, just make a panel to size first.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been asked for pattern and instructions so often so I'm posting photos of the stages to make them here.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought a metre of this ready, 2 sided, padded and quilted fabric at one of the big shows for only £5 and it has made 4 bags and a little zipper bag too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It also save me time! Should have bought more!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bags can be adjusted up or down in size but here I show panels for one medium (10.5 x 30.5 inches) and one larger bag (13 x 38 inches). They are bound with 2.5 wide fabric, pressed in half along the length, sewn around the edge of the panel then turned to the other side and stitched by hand or machine to bind the edges. Alternatively, bias binding can be used.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To construct the bag turn in the corners, as below. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(It helps to pin, or clamp together, the two triangular areas before the next fold)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, if you envisage the central square area and fold the panel diagonally from <b>top left corner to bottom right as indicated</b>.......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2NtFmQstLbRBO_Fy3uES7soD_1EKpVKJ2U6Vnhzmm12ctZIDmzqS-mCRaFAUFO2VfwdVSYx4LquhmhkxWaabg5MzWY8HQlV0r7dVceApP7WYq_LlD7U7NyRBQZBv609cLqk6eyvrWHLB/s1600/DSCN2082.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2NtFmQstLbRBO_Fy3uES7soD_1EKpVKJ2U6Vnhzmm12ctZIDmzqS-mCRaFAUFO2VfwdVSYx4LquhmhkxWaabg5MzWY8HQlV0r7dVceApP7WYq_LlD7U7NyRBQZBv609cLqk6eyvrWHLB/s640/DSCN2082.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The two points will be at the top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bag will take shape, as below, and will be complete as soon as you stitch together (on both sides), where the two edges, meet from <b>A to B</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As this fabric is double sided I machined a zig zag stitch, using invisible thread. It can then be used successfully on either side as a reversible bag.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To finish;</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To fasten, add a large button on either side and use an elastic pony tail ring as the loop to fasten over the buttons. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Handles can be made from the matching fabric to the desired length or from webbing as I did on my first batik bag. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are many options to personalise the bag such as an inside pocket, a loop for keys etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The leftovers made a neat little make up bag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Shout out if you need any more information and, whilst at first it can seem complex, it soon comes into shape.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's time for a smile and after popping in on Annie's Friday Smile over at astitchintime I realised that I needed one to cheer myself so I ventured out before my breakfast to wander around our garden on this sunny morning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It has been a bit pressured lately with a friend and a family member in hospitals at opposite sides of the city but seeing Annie's post made me think and realise that it shouldn't stop me smiling.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjArEKwy4-mTWwmGv_Fan3okRqDGohP-VzKb60Um2YzxKDorYsaMikZz-K_UxCeUEF4vnOYtO4A_l0dTquUvgyteWySPfofK22mrOgKkzOOFQ5kLiz2_B-IoX3GT2RcXAY-6cE7imkTfJZF/s1600/DSCN2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjArEKwy4-mTWwmGv_Fan3okRqDGohP-VzKb60Um2YzxKDorYsaMikZz-K_UxCeUEF4vnOYtO4A_l0dTquUvgyteWySPfofK22mrOgKkzOOFQ5kLiz2_B-IoX3GT2RcXAY-6cE7imkTfJZF/s640/DSCN2012.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The magnolia above is magnificent. It NEVER ever flowered for 7 years after planting so I gave it a good talking to. A firm ultimatum that it was a waste of space and would be dug out if it didn't flower the next year. Wow! it has amazed me for over 30 years since my threat......</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought this amaryllis bulb for a £ in M&S sales and planted it 4th January.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> It was so slow until 2 weeks ago when it blessed us with two heads of flowers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fabulous value for £1.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With all the hospital visiting I have been doing lately, with family and friends in different hospitals, I haven't had time or patience to concentrate on a major quilting project so I've been making small items in preparation for my quilt group's Summer Show. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It has been relaxing, stress free and rewarding for me to still produce some makes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At our Summer Show all members will make and wear an apron as a means to identify them to the visitors and here is mine, full of appliquéd cotton reels and edged with patchwork from scrap fabric. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lots of precious bits of Kaffe Fassett fabric there that I cannot waste!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I managed to make several of these clocks as they are so simple to put together from scrap fabric, fused onto a backing with bondaweb, then machined with a satin stitch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one is my favourite.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I found a few panels of hexagons I had hand stitched ages ago on my travels so I thought they would make up into cushions for the tombola. A quick fix from my stash of UFOs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My lovely neighbour and friend has passed me so much treasure from clearing out the sewing stash of her sister, who recently died. I made two of her hand embroidered panels into these cushions and think that they turned out really effectively. Thanks and all credit to the handiwork of Evelyn.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am in the middle of so many makes but I still made the mistake of taking on a group project last week. Most of my quilt group have joined a "block of the week" project and asked me to participate. Just one block a week, I thought, OK, no problem, I'll be learning new things and the result will be a gorgeous quilt in a few months. Let's get started as I had 3 blocks to catch up as the others started whilst I was away in Devon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nightmare!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hours later my heart was pounding and the block was unfinished so I threw it and tried the next one. Impossible instructions and confusing information, so that one almost ended in the bin when I realised that I really don't need this. I enjoy my stitching too much and find it relaxing.... USUALLY. Sooooo, I made the bits and pieces, I was attempting to juggle, into a block of my own and turned it into a pleasant cushion towards the tombola at our forthcoming group exhibition. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not perfect points but, hey ho, it's a cushion!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZeAzPwAjgZft-hcJQ7-fMJpefQB33dnlm8ZFxvRGENi3roXfkDhQbxe9SX7ATy4ODKr8IGSM0LF0-ZuW9hzJr2Bn9vl4msVgzjnaOAaU3rTuHuGVCcPLgScKM-xZDEr4oeP30n_8xNj8/s1600/DSCN1899.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZeAzPwAjgZft-hcJQ7-fMJpefQB33dnlm8ZFxvRGENi3roXfkDhQbxe9SX7ATy4ODKr8IGSM0LF0-ZuW9hzJr2Bn9vl4msVgzjnaOAaU3rTuHuGVCcPLgScKM-xZDEr4oeP30n_8xNj8/s640/DSCN1899.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I also made one of my practise feather blocks into a cushion..... 5 more to go for the show and I love making them so much I intend to use up lots of scrap fabric and make a "feather" quilt.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally for this week, I finished "Penelope Patchwork", adding lots of little details. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Spot the tiny pencil and ruler in her pocket and she just had to have a bag stuffed full of Liberty Tana Lawn fabric. I actually parted with some of my collection of vintage buttons too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the members of my quilt group pleaded with me to sell Penelope to her but she is going to keep me company in my sewing room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At last my Christmas post will not be the top page of my blog. I haven't sewn for ages but I am making up for lost time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well again after the ravages of a nasty virus I'm back in action.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been inspired by several blogs to make some feather blocks for cushions to donate to my quilt group tombola stall at our July exhibition. I looked on pinterest and Youtube for patterns and there were so many different versions that I decided to play around and make them up in my own way. I might make them a bit longer but thinner for my quilt. We'll see!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've made six "experiments" which will go to make cushions and I love them so much that I have now decided to make a quilt. I also want to make some arrow. Such a great way to use up scraps of fabric.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have finished another of my favourite makes... a Liberty Fabric Quilt top. Random 4 inch squares, easy peasy and so relaxing to sew whilst listenening to the radio. So stress free, calming and therapeutic for me to make.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This style of quilt looks so old fashioned and I love it. It is just manageable to machine quilt and finish all be myself as the Liberty Tana Lawn is light to handle and moves readily through the machine neck.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently, my fabric shelves had a good clear out and in doing so I discovered the beginnings of "Patchwork Penelope" hiding under several fat quarters. I enjoyed finishing off the appliqué and now I will back it, bind it, quilt it, then add some buttons, beads and other bits of interest to make her into a hanging.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Penelope was inspired by much larger hangings and drawings of humorous, cartoon style, quilters I had seen on the internet and a few years ago I drew my own smaller version but never finished her and she became a UFO.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am getting things together for Christmas and I've managed to put up two Christmas trees, an easy fibre optic one in the living room and a bigger one in the dining room. I've decorated the living room windows with a swag of greenery with some lights and also fastened a wreath of lights to our front door so in the grand scheme of things I am doing OK with my festive plans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next week I will enjoy a Christmas dinner with my quilt group so I made all the 20 members one of these little chocolate bars with snowmen wraps instead of a card. They are so easy to make and there are plenty of free printable templates on pinterest if anyone wants to make some. I have made these little characters for many years now and I use scraps of fleece for the hats and scarves, which only need a few stitches to seam the hats, as it doesn't fray. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If I am in need of more fabric I buy a red felt sack or a Santa suit from a £1 shop to cut up, as it is far cheaper than buying felt from a fabric store.</span></div>

I also made the table cloth above right for the Christmas dinner table from a fabric remnant. It doesn't look much crumpled up there but it only needs pressing before I use it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We enjoyed the Christmas markets especially the mediaeval market in the old town where all the stall holders dressed in period costume and they only sold traditional crafts which would have been made for that time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We couldn't pass this stalwart mediaeval mob through to the stalls, until we had dropped money into their coffers, which I presume and hoped was for charity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am popping over to <a href="http://wipso-astitchintime.blogspot.co.uk/">Annie's blog</a> to join in her weekly Friday Smile but this week is a very special day as it is the 200th time she has brought her smiles to us and invited us to share our own smiles too. Annie is such a lovely lovely person and we got to know each other through blog land and we have subsequently met up in real life too. She really is a ray of sunshine, the kindest person who is always willing to help and it makes me smile just to think about her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Huge Happy Friday Smile 200th Anniversary</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and thank you so much for giving so many of us hundreds of smiles. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It makes us all realise how lucky we are even when we are feeling down.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Back home after my trip to Germany and what a lovely way to start Advent. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The mini hats, that I knitted quite some years ago, made another appearance along with the fabric boots which are only a couple of years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My daughter started off her decorations with this swag of greenery, lights and bows, up the staircase.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We ventured out on a very cold and frosty Sunday morning (-5C) to visit the local animal park for the children to join in a Christmas event.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First the children chopped fruit and vegetables (with really sharp knives) which would never have been allowed in England with all our "health and safety" attitude. No fingers were cut even though some of the children were only 3 years old. Great experience!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am kicking my heels, suitcase in the hall, excited, all ready to go off, itching to get off for my flight to Germany but have an hour or so to pass so I thought I'd post my latest Christmas make. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not fussy on the colour scheme as I don't like the yellow fabric in there but it's a prototype.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This still needs a bit of adjustment and finishing off but here it is....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjUEAW_1ygFgTeDXQLFV3VlEFNfTBBj0fLxzm7z5kDfuZdhkAU0ayMiTFMOd2g2VHPeJMwgdjagrMuUjd6uZAkiwAKOjFcezNHblOnFJb-y6H1ntMcraJzAYtAbAKuSL64dKlAkREYplK-/s1600/DSCN1607.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjUEAW_1ygFgTeDXQLFV3VlEFNfTBBj0fLxzm7z5kDfuZdhkAU0ayMiTFMOd2g2VHPeJMwgdjagrMuUjd6uZAkiwAKOjFcezNHblOnFJb-y6H1ntMcraJzAYtAbAKuSL64dKlAkREYplK-/s640/DSCN1607.jpg" width="480" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't know whether to make additions of berries, leaves, buttons, bells or such like but I will have to play about when I get back home next week. Here's the basic wreath in case anyone in blogland would like to make one. no pattern, no exact measurements, as usual, I just "winged" it in my own sweet way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You'll have to just judge for yourself and it could be sized up or down by adjusting my approximations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut <b>diagonal</b> strips of fabric 4.5 inches width by about 4 feet long.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I folded in half and sewed down the length and turned the strips inside out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then came the mammoth task of stuffing them, but not packed too tightly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I safety pinned thhe three long "sausages" together at one end and plaited them. A helpful hand is useful if you can get someone to hold one end whilst you plait.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because they are cut on the bias the plait will curve readily into a circle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I then sewed together the ends, tucking in the stuffing, and finishing the wrong side as best I could.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't worry too much as the big bow I made hides any imperfections and after all it is only a decoration not an exam piece of sewing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remember, the bow can be at the top or bottom of the wreath.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The wreath can be made entirely from one fabric and any design elements can be added to your own choice. I am sure someone will be able to make a more complex plait (braid) by making several narrower strips, think but I think this one is enough for me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I managed another finish yesterday so I could post it off before I leave for Germany. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My daughter who was married in September wanted to thank her friend who kindly made her wedding dress and knew that she would love and treasure a traditional patchwork quilt. Mother was volunteered to do the honours and I was happy to make it as it is always a treat from me to sew Liberty Tana Lawn. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It handles and goes together so well and no matter what designs come out of the basket of cut squares, they all blend beautifully. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only selection I made was to not sew two identical squares next to each other and, by chance, it never happened as there are over 40 different patterns in this quilt. It was really relaxing to stitch together and not to have to worry about a complex design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you spot the designs in the darker blue and brighter pink squares in this close up? Look close and you may see teapots, cups and saucers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The dark one top second left is "the Strawberry Thief", one of my favourite traditional Liberty patterns.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When we visited the Lake District last week I took my sewing machine to keep me company in the evenings whilst DH was watching TV in the lodge. I made good headway on a new Liberty Quilt which I will show soon but I need an extra large table to sandwich the layers so it may have to wait until my next group meeting. I</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> also managed to finish the foundation pieced Christmas Tree quilt I started at our group workshop with our guest tutor, Maureen. I made extra blocks and transformed them into a small sofa quilt instead of just a table runner and I am pleased with the result.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Each year I "rescue" a Teddy Bear from a charity shop, to spend Christmas with us, and here is this year's little character, called Carnforth because that's the name of the little town where he was rescued. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He will soon get a new hat and scarf and sit close to the fire over the holidays but for now he is pleased to show off the reverse of my new little quilt.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Carnforth is just on the border with the Lake District and Carnforth Station is where the famous, classic, 1945 David Lean film "Brief Encounter" was filmed. There is a museum and visitor centre there which recreates the period and tells the story of the film.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I also made another wreath from the extra left over pieces I prepared for my first one, that we made with Maureen.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How did I do that you might say?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well the blackcurrant pie was just about to go into the oven when I realised I hadn't sugared the fruit and I didn't relish sour blackcurrants!! It was the last of the pastry, so I carefully whipped off the top and this was the result. It cooked really well nonetheless but I forgot to photograph the "after" pic!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last week I attended a workshop at my quilting and patchwork group and we were set a couple of super Christmas projects. It was a lot of fun thanks to Maureen our tutor for the day but (as I talk too much!) I didn't finish my two items until I was home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First we made a simple but really effective Christmas wreath, (above) from scraps of fabric. They didn't have to be Christmas prints as long as they blended in with the overall colour scheme and mine were all different greens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Squares measuring 5 inches were sewn in half leaving space to turn inside out. I realised quickly that they did not have to be exact and it wasn't necessary to sew up the side gap when they were stuffed with wadding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We also started Christmas tree blocks for a hanging panel or table runner and here's Maureen's lovely</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> sample, above. They are paper pieced which I had never ever found easy but I was determined to succeed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made an unsuccessful start in the class but managed to master the technique at home the next day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was happy with my first one then really enjoyed my second one.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I ended up making four so I have decided to make a few more and turn them into a small Christmas lap quilt. I've found some red tartan for the sashes which will transform the blocks into a worthwhile finished item.</span></div>

There were also many excellent retailers in attendance with quite a few bargains available making us all very happy and our purses much lighter.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can't believe that I haven't posted or sewn since July! Here I am back in action after house renovations, a daughter's wedding, trips away, visitors, and all in all just being out of the action and worn out with no time for the computer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I spotted this idea last year but couldn't find any patterns so decided to have a go making my own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is the pattern I drafted after playing around with various shapes and sizes. This makes a table centre approximately 58cms in diameter. with the centre aperture big enough to take a pillar candle. It is far easier than it looks so have a go and let me know how you get on or shout if you have any problems!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've just had new spectacles and they are vastly stronger than my old ones and I am finding difficulty seeing until I adjust so please bear with me if you find any mistakes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For safety</span></b> I fix a battery operated nightlight at the top so there will be no naked flame and wax will not drip onto the fabric. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These nighltights are widely available, quite cheaply, in £ shops and supermarkets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">TWO METHODS to follow.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">NOTE.</span></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">...The centre can also be made with only 7 (instead of 8) segments, and the size adjusted, to make a Christmas Tree skirt. By using one less segment the skirt will shape up to fit a tree base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Allowing a quarter inch extra all round for seams</b>, cut 8 pieces each of green fabric (for the back which fold back to form the front holly leaves), and a contrast fabric (here I chose red) for the front.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cut out 8 pieces of medium iron on interfacing (eg., Vilene) to the exact size of the template with no seam allowance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Iron interfacing on to green fabric and position the two fabrics, right sides together, before stitching a quarter of an inch in around the edge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Remember to leave an opening</b> to enable each segment to be turned inside out, then press and stitch the openings. (I machine the opening with a zig zag using invisible thread).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hold together two completed segments (with green sides together).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fold the template over along the dotted line and use this as a positional guide to sew together the holly leaf shapes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfiGNrJDe6AA40VV2Ih3KOEEs7of9O1GW0q5rpPi3-o6a1-eoXUhTGXIfHhcfmOPbVaeepWMe2ZAFQgz8ItfPJsybZ1ljjBfHb2fhyphenhyphenTPJ1FFJSc0EDfzT6e842jH9ecxRNjbT8soFUHKv/s1600/DSCN1549.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfiGNrJDe6AA40VV2Ih3KOEEs7of9O1GW0q5rpPi3-o6a1-eoXUhTGXIfHhcfmOPbVaeepWMe2ZAFQgz8ItfPJsybZ1ljjBfHb2fhyphenhyphenTPJ1FFJSc0EDfzT6e842jH9ecxRNjbT8soFUHKv/s320/DSCN1549.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is how they will look and you will see the holly leaves forming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Continue sewing the segments together in this way until all 8 segments are joined and then stitch together the last two leaves to form a circlet.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is then laid onto the the green fabric with the reverse sides together sandwiching the interfacing with the two fabrics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next using a buttonhole or satin stitch and a metallic thread(as shown below) machine around the template shape which is marked on the right side of the red fabric. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I find Madeira metallic machine threads work best for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is far easier and neater to sew first and then trim than to try to machine around a cut edge.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trim around the segments neatly, close to the stitches then join the holly leaf shapes together as in previous instructions. The finished result is still neat and effective. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">TIP ... I used white interfacing here and it shows a little so I will disguise it with a green marker pen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grey or black interfacing is better as it will not be as noticeable as the white.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We didn't want a fuss but we wanted to mark a very special day as yesterday was our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Yes, 50 years married to my very special husband and every year is a year I value and treasure. Two wonderful daughters, four beautiful grandchildren and their lovely fathers make up our family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We couldn't have all been together but we will do that very soon for the wedding of one of my daughters, so we enjoyed a meal, just the two of us, as high as we could venture in Liverpool, 34 floors up in <a href="http://www.panoramic34.com/">the Panoramic Restaurant</a>. One of the highest restaurants in England with fantastic views of the city and over the River Mersey to Wales. Well worth a visit if you ever get to Liverpool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having insisted that we did not want gifts from anyone, our daughters hatched up an unexpected surprise for us by arranging with the restaurant to pay for us. The food and the service was fantastic and can be highly recommended and we had such a special time there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They also wrote to the Mayor of Liverpool and he sent us a really personal letter of congratulations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a morning of rain falling like stair rods, the weather changed dramatically into beautiful sunshine especially for us, and it was once again the hottest day of the year, just as it had been for our wedding day all those years ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here we are up on high showing what 50 years has done to us and we certainly look a lot different but Yes! I can honestly say that we are still happy together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">It was a miserable day on Saturday.... weather wise that is, but nonetheless we decided to take a trip to see a quilt show that I had spotted advertised in a magazine so it gradually evolved into a magic day out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was a special show to mark the 25th anniversary of Levens Quilters and as we love a trip to the Lake District (it was near to Kendal so only around 90 minutes from home) it was too good an opportunity to be missed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took so many photographs with permission from group members so I could share them but I've only selected a range here to give an overview of the event.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There were so many more quilts to be seen and so many smaller items such as bags and the hangings in the anniversary challenge competition. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The exhibition was held in the Heaves Hotel and it was so perfect to see quilts on display in the bedrooms and on the beds.</span></div>

I am so thrilled that there will be a lap quilt coming via mail very soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There were several excellent traders in attendance to help me happily part with some of my cash, good refreshments and an excellent sales table where I bought several hand crafted items and lots of bargain magazines. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All in all a really great day out, which was well worth the drive from Liverpool, and wonderful credit to the members of Leven Quilters on their excellent work setting up such a stunning show in celebration of the group's 25th Anniversary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Congratulations to you all!</span></div>
