This is my entry for the fabric challenge at Tote and Gloat 2019</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the fabric we were given and it wasn't working for me until I saw the Autumn colours in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut up the fabric into tiny pieces and used it for the autumn leaves in the tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my view from my sewing room with a few artistic additions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It won a merit award.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The judges comments; So many wonderful in this quilt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so clever that you saw the autumn colours in the fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and used it to create the tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the bunny.</div>

It has been a long time since I posted on here and haven't done much patchwork or quilting in that time. We have moved and I now have a dedicated Sewing Room. </div>

I had a really great weekend away with my 3 quilting friends and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are already planning for the next Symposium.</div>

At the WQC show in March a group called "The Mad 4"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was created. This comprises of me and three quilting buddies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started off as a challenge where we would each provide a fat quarter of fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but grew into having a theme as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme is from "Alice in Wonderland"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wendy supplied the first fat quarter which was actually 2 fat eights</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and she also supplied the kiwiana fabric and specified that each of the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
four challenges must contain a noticeable piece of it.</div>

I haven't been doing much in the way of sewing lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully that is going to change as the weather gets cooler.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my latest Halberg Group Challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme was feathers.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
"Heartfelt Feathers"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to do a wholecloth quilt but didn't want to go with plain white or black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this fat quarter. My husband told me I was ripped off as the fabric had faded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is only 12x12 but was really pleased with my first attempt at feathers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My free motion quilting has come a long way. I never thought I would be able to do this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but with practice and good tuition it is achievable.</div>

This is mine at the end of the class. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna used mine to show the removal of the wash away thread so it is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a little wet and creased. I carefully put it in the car so it wouldn't get dirty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and DH was being helpful and got it out with dirty hands. I washed it again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to remove the finger prints and laid it flat to dry. Next day it was dry but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
covered in muddy cat prints.</div>

Here it is completed and made into a cushion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed both classes. Anna is a great teacher and has some really good tips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I have been feeling more confident with my free motion quilting, I learnt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lots and now feel a lot more in control of my stitches. Anna gave us all individual tuition</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I finally have the speed of my machine and my hands sorted so that I get reasonably</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even and good sized stitches. I hope I can maintain it on a big project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna wouldn't let us stipple so I was forced to try other designs.<br />
