Sorry, Rosemary! My Bad! Her name is Caryl Bryer Fallert Gentry. She used to have the Bryer Patch site and sell patterns and hand dyed fabric. She now only makes art quilts to sell. Semi retired, I guess. Anyway, this particular pattern is called Illusion. You can get it through Joy's Fabrics (.com). I'm not sure who else sells it. If you have trouble finding it, I can send you mine. Let me know.



I know (an love) the little orange/purple/yellow quilt that you are holding. I was referring to one that you spoke of recently that you planned on making (I thought) in the future. You said you would probably make each log 1/12 of an inch. My thoughts on this is that there would not be enough thread count in 1/12” to make for a secure seam, nor would there be enough room for the seam allowance. But, that's your headache, not mine.

Dawn, what is the name of the strippy triangles pattern, I tried googling Carol BFG, but it only seemed to come up with Roald Dahl's Big Friendly Giant

September was a busy month for me first off Embroiderers Guild meeting, started with the agm which went relatively speedily. Then we moved onto the tea & cake section, only this time there was glorious chocolate and cream and fruit confection (at least 11 of the 5-a-day ) to celebrate my two quilting awards from this year. When I got home I discovered that DH had put my friends up to it because he is so proud of my winnings )




Dawn, the one with the 1/2" x 1/8" pieces is the purple/orange/yellow one and it was done as 1/2" strip sets with 1/4" seams pressed open and then stitch and flip on graph paper with 1/8" seams.

This was followed by mad sewing frenzy for Izzy's cosplay outfit (had the fabric since the beginning of the year, but been putting it off because of all the gathers!). Brenda, you were right about using a ruffler foot, luckily I have one from my gran's handcrank, and it fits onto my treadle, phew! I also had a go at 'fork pleating', although in my case I used my tweezers instead.







Nearly ended up pulling an all nighter, because it was wanted for yesterday, but managed to get to bed before 4am . Izzy is in love with it and doesn't want to take it off. What is good about it is that it is 4 separate pieces and she will be able to wear the black blouse and skirt as separates.

Thank you everyone for your kind words! Yes, Geneva it was a LOT of work! But, well worth it! Our Featured Quilters don't typically do story cards, But after hearing you talk about doing yours, I decided to do them. And people read them! One lady even said she enjoyed the fact that I listed problems that I might have encountered in that particular quilt. Who can't relate to THAT!

Yup, Nancy! See you very soon! Can't wait! I keep looking for the vendor numbers to be posted, along with a floor plan. Some years I can find it ahead of time, other years I just have to wait until I get there. Loved you Carol BFG leaf quilt!

Speaking of Carol BFG, Rosemary, that stripy triangle quilt that you mentioned is one of her patterns. It's all on bias, so I'm not sure it would be much fun to try it in miniature. And, I think your trying to do a quilt with pieces less than 1/8" wide for your logs is insane. Mainly because there is very little room for the seam allowance to lay behind the main body. Have you started making it yet? Is it paper pieced?

Thanks Sharon! I'll be mailing my quilt to PIQF on Tuesday. Not much time between the 5th and the 9th, considering the 9th is a holiday of sorts. Also, have fun as Featured Quilter! It is a way cool experience! And, congrats!

Dawn

Congratulations Dawn , your booth and your work are beautiful

Congrats, Dawn, looking great!

Congratulations on you booth Dawn, the photos look awesome. I particularly like the strippy triangles/diamonds in the second picture (it would possibly work in miniature nicely too )

Congrats Dawn, yes I did get your email and will happily send pictures. I will be getting the privilege of featured quilter later in October. It is very humbling and a privilege. Looking forward to going to Santa Clara to see all the wonderful quilts.
