K added sequins and buttons to highlight areas of the quilt, she also embroidered round some of the shapes to add interest.
K found some children's handkerchiefs in a local shop. They were a selection of popular nursery rhymes and she was keen too make something for her youngest child. We arranged then on a large piece of fabric so that the overall design worked. E spent a couple of weeks working on the quilt, mainly stitching by had because she wasn't confident on the machine. The finished quilt looked great, a really good development form a simple starting point. E is planning a quilt for herself now and I hope she will have a go on the machine at some point in the future!

Hi Jane,
ReplyDeleteWow doesn't our work look great on here - I'd have never thought that a load of hexagons could look that good.
Thank you so much for the last term, I am looking forward to the next term so much.
Love
