Carolyn Forster's Quilting-On-The-Go

Well, the computer situation is getting a bit better. My biggest problem is lack of pictures, and especially the lack of shots from Houston, as I had not backed them up before the computer died!!

REMEMBER TO BACK STUFF UP!!!!

So today I thought I would show you some pictures of quilts by students from some of the classes I teach, or have taught. Often in classes you see the start of the quilt, but never find out the end results.

Sometimes though I get an email from a past student and it is like Christmas, as they show me what the finished quilt looks like! This igreat, and is often accompanied by where the quilt is now, who it was sewn for etc… I really do appreciate these emails! So exciting!

Sheila Linnel stitched this from a project I did for Sew Hip Magazine, and the one below from a class,'the quilt that quilts itself'!

This is from Ria Grand who stitched stitched this Kaleidoscope hexagon in record time!

This is a quilt from   Vivien Hopkins who stitched it from the new Stripy sampler pattern.

And this is by Kate Evans who stitched the quilt based on a class I did at Thread Bear, south Croydon:

Well done Everyone!

Hi! Sorry for the lack of activity, but my laptop came up with the 'blue screen of death' last Tuesday!

It has taken a while to work out the recovery of all of the data, and now we need to wipe clean and start again!

To add to all this I am changing over to a Mac. In the meantime I am on my sons Mac, and slowly getting the hang of it. But I have no files  yet, so normal service is still pending!

Hang in there, it has been a loooong week for me!

Well ambitiously, this is Part 1, of hopefully, at least two posts about Quilt Market!

These are some of the new quilts that caught my eye in the show:

Orphan Blossoms, by Timma Tarr, USA:

Earth Trees, Earth Flowers, by Yuko Kosaka, JP:

Circular Momentum, Becky Goldsmith, USA:

Flower Road, Hideko Kubota, JP:

Quilt by Keiko Goke, Japan: ( I was so excited to see one of her quilts close up, I forgot to note the name of it, Sorry)

So many great quilts and so much inspiration, I need to get stitching!!
