GUR customers let us know what they’ve been up to with their trusty sewing machines…<\/h2>\n

So many different people love the tranquility that quilting instills in them. It’s rewarding, productive and the end result is a hugely useful and practical one!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of GUR’s lovely customers are quite rightly very proud of what they’ve achieved – and even better they send us images and a few words about their exquisite creations.<\/p>\n

The two examples shown here demonstrate what a diverse group quilters are!<\/em><\/p>\n

Lynn Kipling (see image above)<\/em><\/h3>\n

“I made this small quilt this quilt this weekend with Crafters Companion Threaders 100% cotton fabric in three different colour ways: it has thin wadding between the front and reverse fabric and backed with a coloured back. <\/em><\/p>\n

“The front fabric was cut with a rotary cutter and quilting ruler to get nice straight lines which makes stitching and lining up seams much crisper. The edge has been bound with a purple bias binding to complete it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A completely different change of gear (in more ways than one) with Jennifer James’s offering above.<\/p>\n

“Here is my recent sewing project – a double sided Harley Davidson T shirt quilt.<\/em><\/p>\n

“PS the sewing machine I bought from you is absolutely wonderful and just what I wanted. Thank you!”<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s very much appreciated Jennifer – you’re very kind.<\/p>\n
