The woollies are of course oblivious to all this poetic stuff....just sniffing and rummaging in the undergrowth!!!<br />
I have been so busy of late that I must admit to feeling a little befuddled by things in general!! Fairly numb to most goings on .....not good! We are doing a lot of quilt fairs and shows this year and it all takes time to prepare. i also am very busy with longarming too as well as the setting up of a new quilt group in the local village barn hall.<br />
Maybe a little too much for comfort??? <br />
Today, I have the same busy schedule but I thought I would catch up on blogland as I have my morning coffee....the bluebell perfume has clearly gone to my head!!! as I have not done this in ages.<br />

Orders are flying out for fabrics and patterns and I am really being kept out of mischief! The woollies are of course having their fair share of the attention too!<br />
I have lots of pictures to show...<br />
These pictures show Kate Findlays latest art quilts....and she kindly allowed me to have free reign with the quilting...great fun to do and about fifteen to twenty coloured threads later, the 'northern lights' or seascapes started to evolve...<br />

I do so love freehand quilting...the longarm machine is wonderful for drawing and making texture on fabrics. The shiny fabrics Kate used are perfect for showcasing the stitches and the gradual shading in tones is just perfect! Thanks Kate for bringing these to me!! <br />
<br />
The next photos are my green tea and sweet beans quilt which I started about two years ago from Amitie textiles in Australia. Jen Kingwell's designs are fabulous to see and a real enjoyable challenge to complete. I still have the borders to do, but I'm nearly there now..<br />

The photos are not brilliant, but you can see the detail!! I just love this quilt..<br />
I have also been trying out some fabric crochet using leftover 21/2" strips from bindings. I think this might turn into a floor mat..its rather like a rope effect and it is becoming quite heavy!!<br />

A day off from the pile of quilts in my studio. On Saturday, we took all our fabrics to Region 6 Quilters Guild day in Charvil and had a lovely welcome!! Thank you to all my customers..good to chat and meet new and old alike. And also a chance to take some of my new ranges...just love Posy by Moda, especially this one...<br />

I just love it up there....<br />
Fed and watered, my two are now lying on the back of the sofa totally oblivious of anything and everything!! (except perhaps the mention of 'ball') I am taking the opportunity to sit and enjoy my morning coffee and rest my somewhat aching back...dont know what is causing this!!<br />
Quilts are aplenty this week...<br />
I love this one although it was a little tricky to do....<br />

This is the view from my back window....all looks very pretty but we are so not equipped to deal with snow in the UK!!! The woollies have been sent into a frenzy by all the white stuff..Raffi spends most of her time burying her ball and trying to find it again, then rushes after Zach as they race around the garden!!<br />
Meanwhile, F's quilts are nearly done...this is one of my favourites..<br />

Frippery by Thomas Knauer has arrived in store!! They will be on the webshop later....I have the yellow/orange/pink/green colour way and it is splendid!! Quite a long way from the traditional fabrics I also love, but equally gorgeous...I have an eclectic mix in my collection!!<br />
We met lots of old friends at Farnham Maltings yesterday and had a very busy day...lots of fabric cut and sold and stroked. And lovely to meet some of my new blogging friends too! the running chicken quiltinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13844649174896606113noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159084227046265593.post-60908628963988417872013-01-08T14:00:00.000+00:002013-01-08T14:00:51.257+00:00Happy New Year.....It has been a busy holiday!! I had such a rush of quilts before Christmas that no photos were taken, no blog posts were written and everything seemed to flash by in a mix of turkey, fabrics and time!! My niece's wedding in Liverpool, followed by Christmas, followed by my parents 60th Wedding anniversary!!! made for a very full and enjoyable December...<br />

We are having a big celebration in the spring for the Wedding anniversary, so we took Mum and Dad out, with bottle of champagne in hand, to Wittenham clumps...an amazing place so high up that it overlooks the Thames and Oxfordshire. Rather cold and windy, but fun anyway!!<br />
<br />
Also a couple of makes...a fabric basket or bucket to hold all manner of junk!!<br />

I am in the process of booking a village hall for my workshops planned this year, so watch this space! At Farnham Maltings this weekend, so see you there if you can make it! xx<br />

Using the fussy cut end of the ruler, I have made a candle mat for my table....a bit of fun!!! Rather hurriedly hand quilted to show at a trading night with Newbury Market square quilters meeting!! These rulers are such fun!!<br />
I have also been sewing some tiny log cabin squares with the lovely Andover fabrics now in stock..<br />

The strips are about 3/4" wide and sew up really nicely! In the process of hand quilting this one too!!<br />
As well as these fabrics, I also have this bunch to add to the webshop...still in their packs, but ready to go..<br />

My favourite colours!! One of my customers, also a Karen is currently using some of these lovelies to make a quick curved ruler table runner!! Good luck with your make Karen!! and great to meet you earlier in the week.<br />
Finally, I have been hand piecing some more of my <a href="http://therunningchickenquilting.co.uk/category/13401-patterns.aspx" target="_blank">Green tea and sweet beans quilt</a>...nearly there now!! These curved blocks were a little tricky but just need sewing together now.<br />

I am so enjoying this quilt! Now, an idea...as an online shop I do not offer workshops. I love meeting my customers when they bring their quilts for longarming and I have been wondering about setting up some days, maybe once or twice a month in local village halls, as a workshop and pop up shop! I think that it would be lovely to offer a BOM of quilts such as this one, and have the opportunity to sell some fabrics etc too. Maybe invite quilting teachers occasionally or run the workshops myself? Please let me know what you think about this idea.....I know lots of you lurk rather than comment, but I really would like to know your thought on this one...<br />
Until then, I think its time for a cup of tea (I got really cold after a walk with the woollies this morning) and upstairs to the studio to finish a colourful quilt this afternoon...Busy, busy...the running chicken quiltinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13844649174896606113noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159084227046265593.post-73558917104335477842012-11-21T16:32:00.002+00:002012-11-21T16:35:35.323+00:00New fabrics and new makes....After a visit to a local fabric supplier, I have some lovely bundles to show...some are here already and some are on order! Exciting! It is so difficult to choose from all the fabrics available...I have to admit that I love most styles (maybe except batiks which I am not keen on at all!!) and get quite fed up with the so called 'modern' or so called 'traditional' camps!! There are no rules in this house and if you like it, so be it!!! Enough ranting for today....<br />
The first offering is a lovely range of pinks and blues..<br />

Much fresher and brighter but equally lovely! Not sure that all the range will be available as yet..fingers crossed!<br />
Meanwhile, plenty of longarm quilting has been done (piccies to follow) and some time to sew for me!<br />
The Bella range is definitely one of my favourites and I have just finished sewing this one..<br />

Great fun to sew and very jolly! It just needs layering and quilting now. I thought that I might have time this week but teaching commitments have made that impossible! I have also been experimenting with making purses using a frame...I did enjoy this but got very sticky in the process!!<br />

The first one I used reproduction style fabrics and it has photographed rather like a 'modern' block!! The second block, I used the same colours as I have in my home and although they are not repro style, they sort of look more 'old fashioned'!! Funny how it works sometimes. I have had fun with these and they were so easy to piece. Looking forward now to sewing the next block from Jenny's quilt along!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, back to the quilting in the studio. I have a cream and burgundy quilt on there right now which requires custom work! Lots of pretty stitching on open spaces! A walk for the woollies will follow later today if it stays dry! It is dark so early these days, I can't leave it too late to go out!<br />

And here it is already!!! Wonderful service!!<br />
And it is all I'd hoped it would be....despite the fact that it is all in Japanese, the pictures are clear and the patterns are detailed and relatively easy to draft. Some look quite a challenge but all the more fun!<br />

We have been 'on holiday' the last two weeks (at home) trying to catch up on things! Did we get anything done? well, no, not really...just lots of days out, a nice front garden and a bit of a rest!<br />
My online shop is getting started and the longarm quilting remains busy and a real passion! The woollies are just as woolly (a bit like me these days!!) and we are getting used to being empty nesters!<br />
<br />
Busy making a Bella sunburst quilt right now, and keeping going with my Green tea and Sweet beans quilt.....OO, mustn't forget...the pattern is now on my store! Just love this pattern!<br />

Please do visit and have a look......<br />
Meanwhile, we are celebrating!! It is our 29th wedding anniversary!!! We are trying to recover from daughter no 1 moving into her new home and the loneliness she has left behind and the strange feeling of being just the two of us again!!

After getting terribly stuck in traffic for two and a half hours, we arrived at the village hall in deepest Surrey!! And what a lovely welcome....I must admit to having kittens on the journey, we were so late!! Never mind, the Guildford Quilters were a very friendly group and we had a really nice time. I had been asked to give a talk about my longarm quilting business and take along my shop for some retail therapy!<br />

Just love those Bella fabrics!<br />
It has been a busy week. Eileen's quilt came off the machine and Heidi's quilt has replaced it! Quilts coming in fast and orders on the shop beginning to happen!! I am visiting Guildford quilters tomorrow to do a talk and sell some fabrics, so look forward to meeting the group. <br />

This weekend we visited the wonderful Stowe landscape gardens in Buckinghamshire....Stowe is a private school, but the grounds are NT and open to the public. There are wonderful buildings and lakes to see and an amazing gothic house which is apparently a holiday home through the Landmark trust!! Looks a little creepy to me! You can see it on the hill in this photo...<br />

Our eldest daughter came too as her boyfriend is back at home getting ready for their move to Newbury.....the visit was tinged with a fair amount of sadness in that she will soon move away from home to her own place and although this has to happen, it feels so sad at the moment! Please tell me that I am not alone in this empty nest thing!! <br />

The other day I had a visit from a customer to collect her first quilt....very exciting! But even more exciting when I received this wonderful note and pictures of her quilt in situ a few days later! It is lovely to see the quilts I have played a small part in being loved and used as they should be. Thanks so much Amy...</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Hi Karen.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with my first ever</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">patchwork quilt. I really appreciated your advice when it came to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">choosing a long-arm quilting design, the colour of the quilting</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">thread, the wadding and the backing. It was so kind of you to take the</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">time to talk through everything over a cup of tea.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I am really pleased with the finished result – you obviously took a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">lot of care with the complex quilting pattern – and your tips on</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">binding came in very handy. I was dreading binding the quilt, but it</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">was easy and took less than a day.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of the finished</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">quilt in situ. It proves that even beginners can make something</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">beautiful. Even Trevor, the neighbour’s cat, approves. I’ve decided to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">call it “Postcards from Gardener’s Cottage” since I think the blocks</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">look like old fashioned postcards scattered all over the bed.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I’m already wondering what I can make next, so no doubt I'll be</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">browsing your online shop soon. Maybe I’ll work up the courage to try</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">triangles or hexagons.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Best wishes,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Amy</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
