Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to win some excellent books from C&T publishers for a lutradur piece I designed for their June challenge. Amongst them was a fantastic book by Ricky Tims "Rhapsody Quilts". I have been looking through it and wishing I could do something like that..but then I thought well if I dont have a go how will I ever learn!! In the summer I bought some hand dyed material from a lovely little quilt shop up in Frodsham, Cheshire. I want to have a go at dyeing next year so bought some to see what effect I am aiming for. So far I have put the pieces down so if I have time tomorrow night I can possibly start sewing around the pieces and then quilting it. Its going to be a wallhanging..so wanted to show you each stage as I go along rather than the finished item.
