Log-Cabin Illustrated Quilt - Finally Finished!!!









I've been working on this quilt since November 2010. It has been a long process - from the initial stages of illustrating the tea-party images, illustrating the patchwork, working on it on the computer, printing the fabric, steaming, drying and then the 180 hours alone of hand-quilting! It has been a major slog in terms of hard work, and yet I loved every single minute of creating this piece. And now I have finally completed it, I feel a bit lost, like I don't know what to do with myself. Work on the next quilt I suppose! This quilt, which I have entitled "Just My Cup of Tea" will be featured in the 'Quilts UK' exhibition in Malvern (Three Counties Showground) during the 19th-22nd May.
