We are a small friendly group who meet to discuss all things patchwork and quilting related and show what we have made.
Beginners welcome, only basic sewing skills required.
What we have been making
-
In 2026 we are each making a sampler quilt following instructions in the book “Alice’s Wonderland Sampler Quilt”. The first patchwork blocks are composed of squares, then triangles are added to the next blocks and the blocks gradually become more intricate. The last groups of blocks feature English Paper Piecing and raw edge appliqué bringing the total number to 100.
-
In 2025 our challenge for the year was inspired by Album quilts. Each month we made a block with a different design to fit with the theme we had chosen for our own quilt. All the blocks in a quilt may use the same technique or the quilt may contain blocks using a variety of different techniques.
The themes we chose included nature, garden flowers, the seaside and fields.
-
In 2024 we set ourselves monthly texture-based challenges. We started with a woven block and then moved on to suffolk puffs and cathedral windows before trying pleating, slashing and adding embellishments.
