The Singing Garden in Autumn.

Here's the latest Autumn 'Pretty Petunia' Block (#4)as seen on BOM forum of Popular Patchwork website.
(www,popularpatchwork.com). A number of people are making the BOM (Block of the Month) quilt - in various colourways.
The blocks look amazingly different. Instructions can be found in Popular Patchwork Magazine published monthly.

Attended a Linus workshop yesterday and made a lively quilt for some young hospitalized person. Linus is a very good charity and thousands of quilts are made by quilting groups all over the UK. The hospitals can use up to 250 quilts a week in some instances so there's plenty for us to do.

Have put first machine quilting stitches into the Singing Garden Quilt. Used walking foot and 100% silk on top and in bobbin. Will take my time as the finished quilt will be not be displayed in the Pop Pw magazine until the end of the year. Looks nice and fresh and better in the flesh.
Made every excuse under the sun not to start.
