<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mrs Billings is one of my favourite antique quilts of all time. The original is a stunning masterpiece created by a very talented seamstress at the end of the 1700's and early 1800's. The original maker is unknown but her quilt lives on. There have been many variations made from the detailed pattern I have written and here for you to see are a very small sample!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At last... the quilt is complete! Quilted with binding on and stitched in place - a start and a finish for 2015... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is the finished 'Somerset Mystery quilt'. Many of the girls started it over summer school this year and because it was a mystery to them (and in part to me!) there are lots of very different and very gorgeous versions, hopefully I can share some of those with you soon. You may have noticed that it turned out very big (89"x89"), to big to easily photograph in one hit! </span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Its been a while, I know ... but I have been a little busy lately working on some secret projects and plans for the future ... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found this post in the draft section of my blog and thought it was probably about time to post it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While Paul and I were in Bedford earlier this year we visited the 'The National Museum of the American Coverlet'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wow what an amazing place! They had an extensive display of antique woven bedcovers in all colours and designs. It was very hard choosing a favourite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have a look at these pics and see if you can choose...</span><br />

We went exploring Bedford County yesterday in search of covered bridges. There are 13 within a very close distance of Mary's Quilt Shop..... We found most of them but not all! They were beautiful, the countryside is so green and lush. The rain came and we stayed in the car for this one, but Paul drove us through!</div>

How much can you do in two and a half days? Lots!! Sue and I walked and walked, climbed up and climbed down, took the tube and the overground railway and walked some more! We saw lots of wonderful things....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We went to the very top of St Paul's Cathedral, about 500 steps up and of course 500 back down! The view from the top was amazing, lucky for us it was a very clear day! See the sign on the wall we passed, Mrs B is everywhere.</div>

We took the tube and the overground rail to visit the home of William Morris (1860-65) and then walked on to Danson House to visit the Quilt Exhibition 'Things we do in bed'. The quilt that took my eye the most was a hand quilted beauty hanging at the top of a lovely oval staircase!</div>

The buildings were fascinating to see from the outside but when you stepped in there were many amazing treasures to find. This shop had a beautiful staircase made from a large variety of tiles!<br><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpWyQ1-EjG_8-F282QdtbNTFec4C1Zfra7jTn8YkbkCci8JnR40MygMc2EawNak4q_kd1sO5nDUsO06B1wWGVct8IwarRZkR_uW1HiDC4wB_IKDLaD6CcCmgA9uUUYhiA7ww7G986Jq8/s640/blogger-image--615825385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpWyQ1-EjG_8-F282QdtbNTFec4C1Zfra7jTn8YkbkCci8JnR40MygMc2EawNak4q_kd1sO5nDUsO06B1wWGVct8IwarRZkR_uW1HiDC4wB_IKDLaD6CcCmgA9uUUYhiA7ww7G986Jq8/s640/blogger-image--615825385.jpg"></a></span></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Another one we loved was named Duttons for Buttons.

This week my dream came true! Sue and I have travelled to the UK to make a special visit to the museum and visit with this amazing quilt. We were treated to a private viewing and when all was done my Mrs Billings was laid out for the curator Heather to see... and here she is placed carefully on top of the original. One interesting fact we learned was the the original quilt was a simple coverlet with no backing, many of the original papers are still in situ!<div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUI5JlMGfnd-CYlaBBmS4pbgaKjy9fTcf_0Tq2Fs6xQc4QemLNVak3bI37HotZdtjtRaGYha1kLO91Bz78H2ljHFqjQKD24ljb5ylNxCGD6OoNjTV7w_PH2oXLAteJOtv4sQ58M60pDg/s640/blogger-image--492065027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUI5JlMGfnd-CYlaBBmS4pbgaKjy9fTcf_0Tq2Fs6xQc4QemLNVak3bI37HotZdtjtRaGYha1kLO91Bz78H2ljHFqjQKD24ljb5ylNxCGD6OoNjTV7w_PH2oXLAteJOtv4sQ58M60pDg/s640/blogger-image--492065027.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4hWOdMCaOpBUtLtlxpQF8og6xeRiJrnPtqVJorQVcJX8IWRfUeSiT2y2u1LIzNDxew3CVtRSdQbewSDcwLluMzYOxiB28ZjwwOVcEM5MuTki7YRFUg_afOJBeGyLUgCOrGYbDMn_5R_s/s640/blogger-image--1064725748.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4hWOdMCaOpBUtLtlxpQF8og6xeRiJrnPtqVJorQVcJX8IWRfUeSiT2y2u1LIzNDxew3CVtRSdQbewSDcwLluMzYOxiB28ZjwwOVcEM5MuTki7YRFUg_afOJBeGyLUgCOrGYbDMn_5R_s/s640/blogger-image--1064725748.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo3xjLpJMNLVTBNB3kujmeF7eUIERyZNFEJ-KPKdqdOL67dsmojwOhx9Mpm7KDdz6JKgZeP6tqRQztttM2yo0TznZRnxlH-Q_QAjY-3O8GRqpkhnx1iAc0CWj_LwnuCwhyphenhyphenfpvdpbJokB4/s640/blogger-image-710247394.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo3xjLpJMNLVTBNB3kujmeF7eUIERyZNFEJ-KPKdqdOL67dsmojwOhx9Mpm7KDdz6JKgZeP6tqRQztttM2yo0TznZRnxlH-Q_QAjY-3O8GRqpkhnx1iAc0CWj_LwnuCwhyphenhyphenfpvdpbJokB4/s640/blogger-image-710247394.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If you are lucky enough to find yourself in York, check out the museum!

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have spent the day today working on this years new Block of the Month. Not sure of its name yet, but I know that will come to me soon. It has taken a few months to get this far unfortunately, (the heat here in Melbourne has been my excuse :) and I'm sticking to that!). Today was a perfect sewing day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started the morning with a finished (at last) centre block, just needed a little trimming to be done. Very happy with the end result! These fabrics are simply perfect for fussy cutting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4_jE0YvfbdT_wqpfteQUvj4KOasleJiS1cn-U-AS78INyDwpSZeZg1GRIK3nGxfDOSOKbB-ONt_39v-x1kz-UvRrVAdm07rjDOwgpNpslFxGm8ZofUueGHVgFoOude_fNY88LF8Fqs0/s1600/IMG_0376.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4_jE0YvfbdT_wqpfteQUvj4KOasleJiS1cn-U-AS78INyDwpSZeZg1GRIK3nGxfDOSOKbB-ONt_39v-x1kz-UvRrVAdm07rjDOwgpNpslFxGm8ZofUueGHVgFoOude_fNY88LF8Fqs0/s1600/IMG_0376.jpg" height="628" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then I added this mixture of blocks. The BOM this year features fabric from 'Peace and Plenty' by Judie Rothermel. The colours are a little different to my usual colour palette, but they have come together very nicely. A challenge is good!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And as the day has moved on the smaller blocks were added to the centre. By the end of the good light today all of the blocks were stitched in place. The only thing left to do is cut the borders and a good press! Oh, and of course another photo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have had lots and lots of requests for another Lucy class - <a href="http://susanambrosedesigns.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/lucy-boston.html">Sue</a> has agreed to host another stitching day on Saturday 1st March.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I cannot believe how different each Lucy Boston block is! This is one of mine and I love it, I can't decide whether I will work on a colour theme or simply random choices...... Too many decisions to make and too many fabrics to choose from.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Lucy Boston 'Summer School' classes were so popular that we have scheduled another for this coming weekend Saturday 1st February from 10 am till 3 pm. SO - if you missed out and are interested in learning the technique - there are still a few vacancies. Just call the shop on (03) 9807 3399 to book your place!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also had a play with these cute little things.... 1" clamshells from Patchwork with Busy Fingers and some left over fabrics from a previous project. They are so tiny! But loads of fun. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Friday girls have been very busy again this week making <i>more </i>Lucy Boston blocks! The fabric combinations are all wonderful and the fussy cutting is amazing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These blocks are very addictive - once you start you can't stop. Each fabric creates its own special design whether it is a stripe, a pattern or a flower.</span><br />
