Oh my goodness where did the month go! It doesn't seem like yesterday when I was showing you my Drunkards Path Mini Quilt and today it's the "show and tell" for May's Cathedral Window Challenge.
I did try my luck with this one, offered it up as this months challenge, (to be fair I had made it a year or so back), but I got a big 'No' ( from the rest of the group - Boo Hoo!) so I had to make a new one

All of the flowers were embroidered, and now is my sewing machine cover |
So - off to the cutting board
|
all cut now pressing |
The folding not too shabby, let's hope the next step goes as well
|
All neat and tidy |
I was not sure what I was going to have in my windows, then
Higham Piecemakers had one of their social 'all day' sessions - 'Collage Creation' was the title. Janis brought lots of scraps and a lot of it was Liberties Lawn and I knew that would work perfectly in my windows. Very kindly Janis allowed me to take a few scraps.

I believe these are all off cuts from Liberties hexigon kits |
I had to put some sneak peeks onto flickr and these were the ones I chose
|
Bit of a close up |

Black and white, but most spied the Liberty fabric |
and this is my finished Mini. As you can see it finishes as a 6" square..... too tiny for my sewing machine so hand sewing was the way to go. I would love a full size quilt just like this, but I don't think I have enough hours left in my lifetime to complete it
Wonder what next months mini will be. Pop over to
Flickr and see the other beauties.
Lovely Mini. I am glad it is not just me that has seen May shoot past.
