Ouch! Pesky pins

Our little group of wonderful patchwork buddies, ‘Pascoe Patchers’, met at our local shop ‘Patchworks Unlimited’ to do a class making a Celtic table runner by Zoe Clifton. All was very quiet with concentration – and an occasional exclamation of ‘ouch’ – as appliqué pins made cartwheel patterns!

Cartwheeling applique pins!

The background colour is actually green – the lighting at home changes according to how much sunlight comes throughout the diffused roof panels in DH’s shed – slowly being taken over to become ‘my studio’ – but that’s another story!

After stitching, this photo was taken on an overcast day, so the colour looks washed out. Same camera, same setting, so annoying!

Next step is to do the quilting. I’m going to use Wondefil Spaghetti 12wt thread, just waiting for it to arrive at my local shop.
