Quilt club: part two
Yesterday's speaker at Quilt Club was Stuart Hillard, who is apparently moderately famous because he was on the first series of The Great British Sewing Bee (or whatever it was called). He did quite a funny talk, including lots of references to famous people I'd never heard of that all the LOLs were very amused by.
Today, I went to a class given by him, which was very good: he's obviously run it lots of times before. It was on different techniques for doing the actual quilting part of the quilt, and we made a sampler with various different styles of pattern on it.
This is what I did:
It's really quite hard to sew a half-circle.
I've now got several ideas for how I'm actually going to quilt the flying birds quilt, which is the main reason I went to the class: it's not the sort of design where you can do lots of straight lines.
