Day 30: Quilt You Are Proudest Of #GreatBritishQuilter 🇬🇧 We've made it, last day + thanks to @sarahashfordstudios + @verykerryberry for hosting. 👏🏽 I've been looking forward to sharing today's quilt, it's 2 years since I first shared it, so great to look back on this quilt today. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🗽 The quilt I’m proudest of is my winning “English Woman in New York” quilt from the @QuiltAlliance Quilt Match challenge at Quilters Take Manhattan 2016. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🗽 3 contenders, [me, @yoMaryFons and @aleedac] were challenged to take part in a Quilt Match in front of a live audience. I represented @NYCMetroMOD; my chosen team name was Quilty Spice + my team song was “Wannabe”; my team mate was Susan @EasyPiecing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🗽 We brought along 1 yard of background fabric + were challenged to design a quilt in 1 hour using supplied fabrics + glue. The winning quilt was judged by audience applause volume. My chosen fabric was an NYC Line By Line - Night fabric exclusive to @TheCityQuilter quilt store where I'd worked in Manhattan + my design was based on English elements (tea time, union flag, crown + tiara) to represent my homeland + the background NYC fabric to represent my then current home. 🏆 I was delighted to win with @Meg4Quilts announcing me 2016 Featherweight Champ Of The Quilt World + previous winner @AllieAller presenting me with the winning belt - now proudly on display in my sewing studio + sometimes accompanying me to quilting events – swipe through to see my winning happy dance. 🏆 I took the quilt pieces home + made them into a quilt, backed + bound with another City Quilter fabric, NYC Line By Line - Day. Now I’ve moved away from Manhattan, the quilt is a treasured memory, not only of my English roots but of my time in the city; working at the quilt store; being in NYC Metro MOD Quilters Guild; + working as a Quilt Alliance volunteer. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🗽 #QuiltMatch #happydance #winnersbelt #featherweightchampofthequiltworld #QTM2016 #quiltalliance #quilterstakemanhattan #quilterstakemanhattan2016 #quiltdesign #applique #quilttop #quiltsofinstagram #QuiltySpice #thisisme #allaboutme #quilter #quilting #mbCD #madebyChrissieD (at Fashion Institute of Technology) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVdYMdhIBW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v2jxpaxmqzx4

Day 19: TV/Box Set To Stitch To #GreatBritishQuilter 🇬🇧 📺 I’m going to write in English English today with some American English translations in (). After 7 years in 🇺🇸, every day I’m still learning the differences in our not-so ‘common language’ and, when it comes to talking about telly (TV), there are many terms that don’t cross the pond. 📺 What do I like to watch on telly (TV) when I’m sewing? – The answer is pretty much anything British 🇬🇧. 📺 💭 imo, you simply can’t beat British telly for plot, character development and dialogue. In the main, we don’t go in for blockbuster style dumbing down or playing to the lowest common denominator, we make you have to think a bit and I enjoy that. Brits keep each series (season) short (6/8 rather than 22+ episodes (shows)) and seldom overextend the life of a programme (show) with excessive multiple series (seasons), I think our philosophy is more 'quit while you're ahead'. Don’t even get me started on US shows taking a hiatus/mid-season break each winter - late Nov to mid-Jan. There’d be uproar in Britain if they tried to pull this one on us, and more than a few sacks of letters and emails would be on their way to Auntie (BBC) ✉📧📨. Lol, we get upset enough when the World Cup (soccer) or Olympics interfere with our regular viewing💭 📺 My absolute fave show on the telly is the Beeb’s (BBC) Line of Duty, affectionately known as LOD 👮🏻‍♂️👮🏻‍♀️👮🏼‍♂️. Absolutely can’t wait for the next series (season) in 2019 – if you haven’t seen it, go find it and watch it! 📺 #bbc #lod #lineofduty #britishtv #greattv #britishtelly #hulu #acorntv #britbox #amazon @sarahashfordstudios @verykerryberry #mbCD #madebyChrissieD #Repost @bbcone ・・・ AC-12 reporting for duty.

Day 21: Quilty Quote #GreatBritishQuilter 🇬🇧 🎁 When we make quilts and gift them, we gift a huge part of ourselves along with it. Most of the time this is a truly wonderful experience for the quilter and the recipient. However, there are occasions when the person receiving our quilt doesn’t do so with an appreciation and understanding of what is being gifted to them and other times we gift a quilt to someone and later the relationship falters and maybe even ends. 🎁 These scenarios can be heartbreaking. Years ago, when I mourned the loss of a quilt, Lisa, @theredheadedmermaid, advised me to consider 'quilt worthiness' before gifting a quilt. This struck a chord and changed the way I viewed gifting my quilts. 🎁 Have you experienced the pain of gifting a quilt and, for whatever reason, regretting it? Do you only gift quilts to the quilt worthy? 🎁 #quiltworthy #quiltyquote #quilting @sarahashfordstudios @verykerryberry #mbCD #madebyChrissieD https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-PWNUB1yy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pbhzzzr3yl25

Day 20: Walking Foot, Free Motion or Hand Quilting? #GreatBritishQuilter 🇬🇧 ✂ Oh this one’s easy – I ❣ them all, handquilting, sashiko, walking foot and freemotion quilting. Examples in pics – nothing to add, other than the Sashiko snowflakes are my own design and available from EasyPiecing - strange for me, I know 😜 ✂ #quilting #walkingfoot #handquilting #sashiko #snowflakes#freemotionquilting @sarahashfordstudios @verykerryberry #mbCD #madebyChrissieD https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7kw1VhLkd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19z9o97t0m65e

Day 16: Quilt On Location – Post 1 #GreatBritishQuilter 🇬🇧 I’m taking liberties today with not 1 but 2 posts of quilts on location. Until I moved to Florida 🌴☀ last year, my quilt photos were taken with the best back drop ever, NYC 🗽. Throughout my time living there, I was always aware how lucky I was to have a view from my living room window and roof deck that was the subject of pictures hanging on the many people’s walls around the world. During those years, my readers came to recognise my quilts immediately – the view gave it all away. 🗽🗽🗽 Sharing here some of the many quilt photos I took with a Manhattan skyline backdrop – take your pick – Empire State Building or One World Trade Center, which is your favourite? 🗽🗽🗽 #quilting #quiltsonlocation #manhattan #ESB #1WTC #NYC @sarahashfordstudios @verykerryberry #mbCD #madebyChrissieD (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnxS3YDhQNA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q9xthcnyrdh4
