Kath Roberts
reports that her cross-stitch block representing the University of Chester
crest is now finished. She adds, ‘I have decided to outline some of the main
shapes to give definition.’
The mission
statement square is also just about completed, with just some outlining in
backstitch to do.
Kath writes:
‘The next square I have taken on is one to represent the celebrations for the
inauguration of the University in September 2005. As part of the Balls held for the
celebrations fireworks displays were held and I have decided to represent these
on black velvet, using fabric paint and metallic threads, with beads and
sequins to be added on following the completion of the quilt by the Quilters
Trading Post.’
'I have approximately
4 weeks to do this square before our Saturday session at the Quilters Trading
Post on the 1st of March. Then we will choose the sashing, before cutting
and sewing the squares and sashing together, this has by necessity to be a
quick square to complete! So I am
intending to use mainly fabric paint and pens in silver and gold to produce the
bulk of this work. The stitching in
metallic threads will be mostly stem stitch, chain stitch and bullion knots.'
Amy Jones
has now completed her block, the Amber ‘Peace’ cross designed by Frederick
Starkey in the garden outside the Cloisters:
We are all
awaiting the moment when the quilt will be assembled after the 1st
March meeting.
