Side by Side by Sold One Already!

And a Scrappy Quilt by Studio Quilters 

This week Susan F and I set out our stall at St Andrew's Parish Hall in Totteridge Village, for an Autumn Bazaar in Aid of NSPCC. We had all the group quilts out  (as well as mine) and had some interest, but didn't make any major sales. I had finished off these little nursery quilts from my UFO basket, in time for the sale. They were only small, so I had them set up side by side on my frame and quilted them at the same time, but with different designs.

We did sell a few of our odds and ends from Studio Quilters and Connecting Threads, so we managed to make a small contribution to the cause! We would do it again next year and will be better prepared next time. 

Later in the week, I Iisted all my quilts for sale in my shop and within 24 hours the turquoise one was sold!









I have another BIG quilt to do for Susan M and I am waiting for the special thread to arrive (NOT Metallic this time - a shiny polyester thread called Fantastico). 
In the meantime, I have cracked on and finished this 'scrappy quilt' put together from 'Itsy Bits and Wonky Strips' blocks, made by the ladies at Studio Quilters.  

There's a bit of my influence here - the scrappy border was pieced on to phone book paper and trimmed to an even width. Looks effective!

 Guess who made the pink block!

All the Snail's Trail blocks are finished now for Christopher's Rainbow. That's all the units prepared and now I am ready to start putting them all together. I'm going to have to concentrate if I am to get them all in the right place, but I am really looking forward to it.

Happy Quilting Everyone!
