    Thats gorgeous Jaqui, you are so clever,I love the shades of Autumn,how on earth do you work out what goes where? Is it hand tacked first,then machined? 
    My Mum worked at Harvey Nichols as an upholstress but I didnt inherit any of that!

    Thanks ValleyGardener. In reality it’s mostly pinky/peaches….bits of fabric I’ve had hanging around for years in some cases. To be honest I just tried to make as many different combos as I could from the fabrics, then space them out on the floor, bit hit and miss compared to a lot of the videos on the net.. I’m machine quilting so it gets a lot to handle and in this heat I don’t get much done as I quickly overheat with all the fabric on my knees…
    Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.

    Very impressive Jacqui.  I played around with quilting several years ago, but didn’t keep it up. Still love seeing it.

    Not sure which one is best @Rubee but I would imagine you could try Hobbycraft.

    Thanks Lily . I haven’t looked at their website.

    To be honest mine is from "The Works" and cost about a tenner. Its very much like Winsors,has a little drawer etc. Ideal for watercolours on location too.
