Claire Sews and Makes

This is a record of creative making, indoors and out, in my life. A space for me to share ideas and reflect on projects. There is the bonus to reach out to other makers. I am a sewist, starting in my teens, and sewing on and off throughout my life. Largely clothes, but with forays into quilting, and the domestic homemaking projects of curtains and blinds. A lover of movement and the outdoors I am happy with my hands in the earth creating, in my minds eye, a pleasing garden space

Round Robin # 4 Lightening McQueen

Number 4 of eleven (!) quilts doing the rounds. This was a late addition to create another boys quilt. I loved the bright colours, and enjoyed working on my addition, especially as a generous friend shared fabric from her stash. I received the 4x4 centre and my part began with the red sash.

Learnt a few quilting techniques this round as well; improved pressing, smaller stitch length, cutting off the bias and no back stitching. Oh and sewing on my Featherweight as well.
