'All 25 blocks
have been completed – how exciting!
Every member of staff and alumna has stitched their block with care, and
showed such imagination and skill in how they have articulated their themes. We have such a kaleidoscope of colour, and a
fascinating range of interpretations from the group. At the February meeting, those present laid
out all the blocks and decided on what position would be best for he blocks in
the final layout. We photographed this
(how could we hope to recall all these without a photo!)
We found that
having taken a photo, we decided on a slightly different layout, to make it
more balanced with predominant colours not being placed next to each other.
Our
Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Adrian Lee was passing and popped in to see what we were
up to!'
'A smaller
group will be meeting up at the Quilter’s Trading Post in Buerton to stitch the
blocks together and add the sashing. We
have decided to see what colour sashing looks best when we are in the shop!
Once the
blocks are all stitched together to form one piece of cloth, we will leave this
in the capable hands of Pam, who will be putting this on the gammill long arm
quilting machine, and quilting the top, wadding and backing fabric together,
and enhancing the designs on each individual block. We can’t wait to see how it looks!
Next on the
agenda is compiling the information needed for our book. Everyone is writing 250 words outlining how
they chose the design they created, supplying a photo of themselves and a
description of how they are connected to / what they do at the University of
Chester.
Anne,
Shirley, Louise, Kath and Pat have a look at Shirley’s draft pages for the
book.
