Well doesn't time fly by. With going away last month I have completely forgotten to update the blog.

In May we spent a lovely evening looking at the Handbag collection of miniature quilts which we loaned from the Quilters Guild. Some of the quilts were amazing. How does someone get so much accuracy when sewing such a small piece. I have such a great admiration for all the quilters who have donated a quilt to this collection.
Since we also had a go at piecing 1/4 inch hexagons ourselves I also greatly admire their patience.

In June we looked at another form of patchwork that can be said to be small and fiddly and had a go at making strips of Seminole work. This patchwork was created by the Seminole Indians to adorn their clothes and has always been traditionally done by machine.
Since I enjoy making bags and clothes I have used it on several occasions to embellish my work.

There are photos in the meetings review section. Please take a look at what we have been doing.
