Just an observation - Many of the designs in the first few pages of DBC are accompanied by a digitising software image and no evidence of a stitch out. I for one would think twice before downloading one of these designs and likewise before posting a desig

We had a discussion a few weeks ago about making quilts from T-shirts. I have made two (memory)quilts now. The first I stabilised using old sheeting and backed with polar fleece. This one is very snuggly but was quite difficult to put together. For the se

This is my first real try at a filled design. I'm quite pleased with it although the windows don't quite fill the space I carved out of the bodywork. I used a photograph and an occasional look out in the garden at the real thing.
