Hi ya'll, no we've not left the Kingdom but several of us have moved from one compound to another and have had to sort out a working room, internet providers etc., and also the summer vacation time has interupted the blog's continuity with some of us off to visit family or other places.
I have been on vacation to the UK for 4 weeks, and America for 3 weeks and had a lovely time. We were in California and New York but I will be back in the Kingdom at the end of the week and hopefully 'my' internet will be sorted so I can get back up to date on the site.
Looking forward to seeing all the girls again soon !

Amish Quilts Progress
The Amish quilt wall hanging has been the last 2 months project for the quilting group with just one more monthly meeting to finish them before we all move onto the next project which will be a block of the month series for the next few months.
The hangings were planned and designed by Fran and Karen and originally constructed from .5mtr @ of 3 plain fabrics, 1mtr fabric for the backing and .5mtr of matching plain fabric for the binding. Various techniques have been used for the quilt including trapunto and a generous amount of quilting stitches...great practice for those larger quilts to come.
Here are a few pictures of the Amish progress, with finished quilts next month hopefully to show:
