Finished!

Magikal Forest Quilt. Made by the textiles group at The Heathlands Project

So, The Magikal Forest Quilt is complete and has been posted off ready to be exhibited in Birmingham. We did a presentation of the quilt in the morning meeting on Thursday and all the guys were really impressed with it and asking what we were going to do next year! It's been great watching the piece develop and everyone was impressed with how it's turned out and we're all excited about it going on display. I'm still seeing stitches when I close my eyes but it's been worth all the hard work.

Finally, the first layer of 'Magikal Forest' is complete. Everyone has sewn on their additions; a host of ladybirds, a pair of love birds, flowers, dogs and snails to name a few. All the members involved with the project have sewn at least one of their patches on and then due to time restraints I spent my Thursday evening sewing on the rest. I'm really excited about us making it up into a quilt now, it looks so good. We got lots of positive comments about it at the tea party yesterday (see previous post.)

Magical Forest-Progress

Magical Forest

Once again, long time no post but here's a quick one to start off with. The Magical Forest Quilt being created by my textiles group up at The Heathlands Project is progressing well. We have begun attaching the various animals, fruits and flowers to it. I'm beginning to get mildly panicked now as the deadline looms ever closer, I can see a couple of late nights finishing it off coming on! Still, it's looking great and all the guys have worked really hard on it.

Detail-One of many magical creatures!
