This quilt is hanging in my hall way and I really think it is my favourite quilt. I made it when I first started working at The Country Yard .
It was run as a mystery quilt, there were three colourways and three different settings, you chose the pack of fabric in the colours you liked and the first Tuesday of the month you would pop in and pick up your next 'mystery'. Of course it wasn't a mystery for me as mine was the shop sample.
We would have a car load of ladies travel a good 3/4's of an hour once a month to pick up their monthly mystery, stay for a chat, coffee and a muffin. I remember one day  being over joyed by these ladies sitting on the shop floor with coffee and muffin, chatting and laughing! They were just so happy. Of course now the shop is much bigger and there is no sitting on the floor!

Our much loved and well attended Annual Exhibition is on Saturday where we can share good company, wonderful quilts, lovely fabric, yummy food and relaxing music.

This was my first go a Trapunto and apart from a table runner is the only Trapunto I have done. I am very keen to do some more when time permits.

I read a couple of great books -  'Heirloom Machine Quilting' by Harriet Hargraves and 'Quilting for Show' and 'Whitework Quilting' by Karen Mctavish .And had a go!
