Hi my name is Katie. I am a long time lover of
cutting up material and making things. I started sewing and quilting as a
child and along with cutting my mum's favourite silk blouse to make
roses for my denim jacket made several hand sewn quilts. Work and three
children then came along and I did a lot less crafting and much more
playing and washing clothes rather than making anything. As my children
are getting older I am finding slightly more time to be creative and
they are starting to enjoy making things with me. I still really enjoy
hand sewing but recently bought a new machine that is great and gives me
lots more options. I am really enjoying being part of the Edinburgh
Modern Quilt group and seeing the huge variety of styles and techniques
used.
My favourite quilt is the one shown. It
is our picnic rug and we have been able to use it loads this summer
which has been great.
The block I have chosen this month is the 12" Courthouse Steps Block. This is the website I used:
Block Centre 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
2 x 2" x 3 1/2"
4 x 2" x 6 1/2"
4 x 2" x 9 1/2"
2 x 2" x 12 1/2"
It
feels really exciting to see what different blocks are made and
hopefully they will not take too long to make as I know some of us are
also making our bits for the Stitch Gathering. The blocks can be made of
any colour, but if possible all the stripes should contain the same
colour. Here are the examples I made as shown at the meeting.
