Felting about......
I have been invited to talk about my quilts and do a mini work shop for East Lancs Area day in September. I have designed this little monogrammed felt needle case specifically for the day. This morning I was rummaging around the sewing room and discovered three unused broach pins. I decided to make some new flower broaches based on the flower design on the needle case. I even found two lovely bling flower buttons idea as the centre embellishment. Its so nice to make quick little project and have something pretty and completed in a short time it lifts ones spirits.

Simply darling....
Several days ago a lady from Southport quilters introduce me to the Missouri Star Company and I fell in love with some of the tutorials. One was called disappearing four patch. I decided to have a go myself. I raided my fabric stash and this is what I came up with. It is a small quilt 40 x 40 inches square and it only took a few days to make. The lady on the video refereed to her quilt as a simply darling little quilt to make so that's just what I called mine "simply Darling".

Regional Day at Frodsham...
On Saturday 8th March I went to the regional day. The Speaker in the morning was Janice Gunner and Linda Barlow spoke in the afternoon. As always I had a great time. It is such a lovely way of meeting like minded people and enjoying lots of quilts. I enjoyed both speakers but sadly I did not manage to get any photo's of Linda Barlows quilts (if you would like to see her work google her name). The photos above are some of Janice Gunners work. I loved her log cabin with attitude and the poppy quilt, in fact there wasn't one piece of her work I did not like. The table was an abundance of colours. Linda Barlows work was also very colourful but in a totally different way to Janice's work. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.
