So the Dresden plate quilt has moved upstairs. Time to test sew a mini sandwich made from the same materials as the quilt to make sure the stitch is just right...
Such a beautiful quilt, can't wait to see it done. The machine quilting part is always the scary part for me!!! Have a wonderful week quilting! Chris :o)
Wow! Machine quilting...always get nervous working on something large...never seem to get the 'sandwich' of quilt wadding and lining as smooth and accurately pinned as I wish..that looks really stunning,so impressed with your patience,calm and accuracy in the face of extreme quilting....

Hello and thank you for visiting the HenHouse. I'm a stay-at-home thirty-something mum looking after Mr HenHouse and the Munchkin, aged 13 (going on 18). We also have a gorgeous and very spoiled ginger tom, Charlie Boy. Sadly we had to say goodbye to our two other furry boys this year. We have recently moved from the city to our dream home in the West Country. I have always loved vintage and have collections of eiderdowns, china and fabrics to name just a few. I love sewing and am an avid patchworker and quilter. As a family, we are dotty about the past and love the 1940s, often dressing up for re-enactment events. To fund my fabric habit, I sell handmade items in my Etsy shop. I'm pretty nutty about interiors, too and our homes have been featured in various magazines.
