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 11 (going on 15). We have three fabulous cats who we adore and spoil rotten: Charlie Boy, Vorey Puss and Jacky Ginge. We split our time between our Victorian home in London and our weekend bolthole in the West Country which is a dinky 16th Century thatched cottage. I have always loved vintage, particularly the pink and flowery. I 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 have the occasional stall at craft fairs and sell handmade items over the 'net, too. Our homes have been featured in magazines and I'm pretty nutty about interiors.
