Topic: Half-Size Measurements (19/37) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month journey into the land of childhood memory with a charming quilt designed especially for TQS by internationally-known Australian designer Lynette Anderson. Lynette combines simple, unpretentious folk art style appliqué motifs with patchwork blocks for a quilt that will be lots of fun to make. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. We will once again be offering monthly companion teaching videos as well. It all makes for a year of fun and learning!

Thanks Lorna, Wendy, Rita, Judith, Lois and Rosemary re the house block I've enjoyed working on even repeating the windows! I'd considered something Christmas themed but not sure now.

We watch 'The Adventures of Piggley Winks', an animated kids program on PBS set on an Irish farm a few years ago with our grandkids. The fields/farm yards were enclosed with low stone walls, I sort of remember an episode with the sheep pondering how to get over the wall.

Great looking house Barb.

Lorna, you've got one more style of stile to find for your collection. Actually it is more akin to the kissing gate, although it is found in stone walls. There is a V shaped gap in the wall, with two upright posts that are hinged at the base and the top of them is fastened to a spring. You have to pull the two posts apart to get through the gap and then they spring closed after you have passed. There is one in Mells, Somerset between the churchyard and the adjoining field, to stop the sheep from getting into the churchyard.

She probably put it there Nancy to get rid of him.

Rita I did doggy by tracing elements from a photo on the internet - body, front leg, ears and face then chose areas of a batik that worked. I've pencilled eye and nose on, shall have to make it more permanent. He's raw edge appliqué. Cockerel and hen I drew freehand and did same as dog.

What's an Irish stile like Rita, they seem to be like stone walls and built differently depending where you are.

rehak OFFLINE Posts: 2783 Thank you received: 458	Love the photos, Lorna. Thanks for sharing! I wasn't sure what a stile was until this discussion, but I guess I used to have one at my house. The previous owner had a set of steps next to the old fence so he could visit his girlfriend down the side road. I'm not sure why his wife didn't take it down, but maybe it was put in after the divorce.....

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Great photos of stiles Lorna. We have them here too but never thought to take a photo, must do that sometime. Wendy I love your stile and the doggie (how did you do him, was he already on a fabric?) and the cockerel, or is it a hen? Barb, your house is looking very bright and cheerful and I love your windows.

twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	Great examples Lorna you even have mine. Aren't they fun. We cross loads out walking here and I always climb them even when they are standing alone in a field with the fence long gone! What a happy house Barb it's great, so colourful

It's from a photo I took on a womble last weekend. Derbyshire stile.

Thanks Lorna, when I put stile and USA in google it came up with anything but bits of wood nailed together.

Well I didn't say it looked like that one and not all stiles here in the UK like that one. The one at my grandma's was more the kind that was a ladder up and over the fence. near me in Suffolk there is the "9 stiles walk" and they are (were, as most are missing) iron ladders up and over the fence.

Here are a few types of stiles we came across when we walked Hadrian's wall last here. I know the kissing gate isn't a stile, but I like them so have a picture of it.
