Some more of my quilts

Now I've sorted out my gallery, I thought I'd exhibit a few more quilts I have made over the past few years.

This Tea Time quilt from my kitchen is an original that I created for Janome and it was featured in their magazine since it used Janome embroidery software.


The wall hanging below, Feather Study, is the result of another Marlene Chaffey workshop and taken from a design by Caryl Bryer Fallert, who I met when I visted her studio in Paducah in 2010.


This quilt below hangs in my hallway and is called Falling Colours, the result of a workshop with Jan Hassard.  Jan is a very thorough teacher and huge fun to work with . I highly recommend any of her workshops and or talks.

A day out at Marlene Chaffey's studio/workshop

The quilt below is the result of a great day out in a delightful farm setting near Exeter in Devon. Highly recommended!

Judy Niemeyer's design

This design below is one by Judy Niemeyer. I had carried the picture around for years and finally made up the pattern myself.  I was quite pleased with the result.

Penny's got a brand new bag (Christmas 2011)


Here's a bag I made with fabric bought at The Festival of Quilts, Birmingham 2011. Couldn't go past it, I made for Penny (cat lover) for Christmas 2011.
