The tabloids said the Prince and Princess are expecting twins
Not boring at all! I love hearing the info you share! You seem to live an interesting life!She had a remarkably simple room. She had a hole cut out of a big old table to put her machine in so the table supports the weight. She had a big design board behind her to pin all the pieces of pattern, then quilt to. She dyes her fabric.
Have a look at her website www.philippanaylor.com .You can see all the quilts. I have both of her books. The first, Quilting in the Limelight is difficult to get hold of now unless you pay quite a lot. It's sort of her story plus details of her trapunto, quilting, piping, binding etc and I've used it quite a lot. The latest one is about very precise appliqué.
Have a look at this year's quilt, the miniature quilt 'Sewing Bee'. It's a whole cloth quilt with the tiniest machine quilting you have ever seen. The funny story is that she made it to first put into the Festival of Quilts' in the UK. The rules state that a miniature must be no bigger than 30 cm on any side. We usually use inches not metric so Philippa said to herself, oh, 30 cm, that's 12 inches. So she made the quilt. At the Festival she had a gallery. Her husband said to her how strange that they had heard nothing about her quilt, he was going to have a look. He came back and had to tell her that her quilt had been disqualified. It was too big. Twelve inches is 30.4 cm! Philippa was very philosophical about this. It was her error. She sent it on to Paducah where it won best minature. The archive section of her site shows all the awards.
The teaching section shows all the workshops she does. I've done Contemporary curved piecing and apparently a free motion masterclass. Had I realised it was a masterclass I might not have had the nerve to do it!!
Hope you don't find this boring
