I’m lucky to have met some very talented people here in South Africa.
One of the most talented and prolific quilters I know is my friend F. An embarrassingly long time ago she gifted me with some little squares. The centre of the logcabin block was 1 inch cut. Pause to consider the implications here…The rest of the block finished at 4 1/2 inches and the strips were 1 1/2 inches cut.
I added some triangles to make a square in a square and some sashing and ended up with this.
A close up.
My long armer has closed her business and retired to the UK. The fabric store side of her business I can live without, I don’t know what I’m going to do for a quilter now though.
This has been finished for quite a while, but I’ve had problems getting decent pictures. Eventually I just decided to show you the quilt using pictures that weren’t blurry.
Another very talent person I know is thewren. I’ve been wanting one of these bags since I first saw the prototype being tested by one of my colleagues.
It’s made from a cement bag. Here is a link to more pictures.
The third talented person is my fibre dealer Carlé.
This is my latest spin from her.
Tussah silk singles.
And this is what happened within 5 seconds of taking that picture.
The cat tried to claim it as his own.
The log cabin quilt is stunning!!! What a beautiful piece of work. I am sure that there has gone a lot of work into those blocks. Wow!
I love the colour of the yarn that you have spinned.
A cement hand-bag…there is an idea. I am sure they have done something to it to make it last longer than a normal paper bag…:)
Very talented people! The quilt looks especially awesome!
Love the quilt and also the cat.
That quilt is exquisite. The colours are so rich and the squares are so intricate. You’ve finished it beautifully.
The cement bag is cool
I hope the cat and your beautiful yarn survived! Scary!
I love what you’ve done with the log cabin blocks!
really love that one!
