Esther's Ocassional Quote for the Day

Still going


Starting early on a cold winter's morning.....



My travelling iron is handy to take around the house as I often move

my quilting into the sunniest room


Some peonies drying


When I have time, I like to wait 48 hours before I heat set as I've found this proves a truer colour
My layers are nearly done, one more colour to go

It sure is a New Day....Every Day

I was just flicking through my email inbox when I noticed one of my quilts flicking before me.....

I was happily suprised to open my latest newsletter from The Quilt Show....and notice that my quilt, PEACE, is shown on the Gallery Tour page!

I was delighted! I love The Quilt Show newsletter....now I REALLY feel like a quilter! Love it...Love it...Love it

Peonie Pride progress

The joy of beginning the journey of a stencil quilt....
Cutting out my stencil designs....

Pressing the fabric after the prewash.....
Laying the stencil on top of the wrinkle free fabric....

Positioning....positioning...positioning....until perfectly placed. It can take time!
I like to iron on the entire block, then when I stencil, it's like a jigsaw puzzle falling into place, as I remove piece by piece
More pieces.....
