A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Thursday, 22 October 2009. Well, where to start? I'm sitting in the lounge upstairs, with my snug rug over me (a brilliant invention - and one of the best birthday presents ever! I'm waiting for the postman to arrive - I'm expecting several packages. One of the packages I'm expecting / waiting for is the block of the month from Antique Angel ( http:/ www.antiqueangel.co.uk/. This means that I've had my lette...

A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Sunday, 22 May 2011. It's been a long time - getting from there to here.oh dear - I've started watching Star Trek: Enterprise, and the theme tune is stuck in my head! This has given me other ideas of how to adapt this pattern - first I really should finish this version, together with the narrow border and the and piping! The possibilities are endless!

Quilting at Westdene: July 2009
http://christine-quiltingatwestdene.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Monday, 6 July 2009. I pieced two backgrounds - trying to create a 'half dropped blocks' design, like the optical illusion. As I had pieced two backgrounds, I could then create 2 quilts. The first quilt I'm going to show you, is the 'senses' quilt - the one to dispute seeing is believing. My whole basis for the quilts has been - Seeing Is Believing - Really? Can that really be said? Is it really true? I used...

Quilting at Westdene: June 2011
http://christine-quiltingatwestdene.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Monday, 6 June 2011. I realised yesterday that I need to have a bit more of a systematic approach to my blog and the posts! Reading through previous posts, I saw that I had given one a title including the word dolls - and nothing about dolls in it, so I'm going to rectify that right now! Or is it a mob cap? I'm too young to know! I love the look of broderie anglaise - it's so feminine and pretty. The hair fo...

Quilting at Westdene: June 2012
http://christine-quiltingatwestdene.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Saturday, 9 June 2012. Long time no post. I'm sat in front of the television, doing some embroidery on a label, and thought that I really should post some of my recent work. This photo shows Christmas last year, with 8 Christmas stockings under. The Christmas tree - I made 7 of them, and the other was made by Mum - over 30 years ago - and has been the inspiration for all the others I've made. Quilters as wel...

A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Tuesday, 6 September 2011. So long since I last posted, but I have been busy. I did get everything done in time for the wedding - pictures of the items and the bride and groom will follow! The last thing that I made with the pieces left over was to make a card for the wedding. I tried to made an envelope - but that was not a great success. However, the card was not too bad, even if I say so myself! A fabrich...

A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Tuesday, 22 December 2009. What have I been up to recently? Well, here is a picture:. Each pupil had a present, consisting of: two pens, two pencils, a pencil sharpener, a rubber, a notebook, a mini packet of sweets, and a party toy (e.g. a spring, a pinball game, stickers, a puzzle keyring.). The stocking was also filled with lollipops and chocolate coins. Why did I do this? Later today I shall be back in m...

Quilting at Westdene: November 2009
http://christine-quiltingatwestdene.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A blog with details of quilting projects past and present, to show others what I have been up to. Monday, 23 November 2009. I've been extending my quilting skills with Block of the Month projects from Antique Angel. There have been numerous times when I've cursed myself for starting them, but I'm glad that I'm doing them - learning new techniques, trying new things. My current guilty pleasure is Dynasty. It is great - it is so bad, it's good! Why do I sit and sew with the television on? Block of the month.
