 I have a very long list and when I get the fabric and ready to make a long wanted project I stop and think and decide I don't want to any more and get on with the one that's recently burning into me. I do have quite a few unmade patterns I buy at quilt shows  Does that mean you also have a bit of a fabric stash too? Just trying to rationalize my growing fabric collection and I only got interested in quilting about two years ago... |

Wendy, BTW that "One of these days..." was referring to me, not you! in hoping to try a portrait...
 just not sure if it's going to be in the cards for me with so many things I want to learn. |

Thanks
I think it may be one of those projects that need contemplating. Off to do a search |

That looks great Wendy. Good luck with the quilting - I am sure you can do it - show us when you are finished won't you please?

Get up Rosemary you're going quilting never mind laying in bed It was embroidery rather than quilting, we had a couple of lectures, one by Helen McCook called 'Essential Goldwork', she is also ex-RSN and got to work on 'that dress' last year. The other was by Mike Millward about the Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth Collection, at Gawthorpe Hall. That is one place that I would love to go and visit! Traders stalls a bit of a disappointment, the EG bookshop that has ususally been there wasn't this year (boo-hiss), and I only spent money at Empress Mills on 3 reels of thread (1 hand quilting) and a 1/2 kilo roll of white egyptian cotton - this fabric is a load of off cuts, but it is very fine weave and lovely & smooth & takes printing & dyeing beautifully; I would recommend it to anyone. |

I did one as a self portrait but got sidetracked discovering the other parts of the forum. I'm still going to do the Yvonne Porcello style one of my friend.This forum is giving me too many projects I want to do. I've done my plan for this one will spend weekend choosing fabrics. Rob did it in black, grey and white but I want to use colour. I'm going to have to do some research on how others tackle the colours for shaded areas like necks and lots of other projects suddenly appearing too, sounds like perfectly normal behavour for this site  - now finished projects, that is a different skill entirely. DH Mike is very supportive of my addiction, but says he'd like to see more than just blocks.  Can't say I blame him but there are just too many quilting neurons firing and shooting through my brain!! :shock: |

Well arn't we a couple of dirty old stop-ups! I really ought to be in bed since it is tomorrow already, and I've got to be up at a 'sensible' time to go to an EG regional day - with several rather nice trade stands
only trouble is, I don't do mornings  |
