Ravenswood

 

Haven't done to much sewing this week but have managed a few more of my Ravenswood blocks.Have also been sewing a binding on a quilt. I start thinking I'll just get this binding on and several hours later I am still sitting sewing. It always takes much longer thank you think. Don't you think?

Jo Mortons Ravenswood

 
 

Just to tease , This is what I have decided to do with my Ravenswood fabric. I always loved this little quilt on the front of Jo's book. So I have enlarged the centre applique block by 125% and have appliqued them on with a machine fine blanket stitch. My friends that know me well know I don't have the patience to hand applique so this is my solution. I went on line and had a look at Jo Mortons website last night and notice she does have this little block in another quilt called Rachels Reel.Today I am home for most of the day so hopefully will get a few more blocks done.

New Additions

 
 
 
Yesterday I took a workshop at Wantage for a quilt group and on my way back called into Bampton to the Cotton Club which is sadly closing down due to retirement. I did manage to buy 5 metres of the sampler fabric . I thought it would make a lovely quilt backing and also I found the last 2 metres of a Judi Rothermel toile.

Then today a little parcel arrived. I love it when the postman leaves me a note which says PARCEL LEFT IN GARAGE.
It is some lovely Jo Morton fabric called Ravenswood and one piece of her Toast range.I don't have any black fabric in my stash and really fell in love with these. What am I going to do with them, well have been playing around this afternoon and made one little block. when I have made a few more I will post some photos .I really like how it has come out.
So its more of watching this space I am afraid.

Just itching to get back to the sewing machine.
