Lorna, I'm glad you made it and enjoyed your day out!
Margo, that appliqué quilt is beautifully made and the background is very simply cross-hatched. I love 'understated' quilting. Too often I see quilts were the busy and heavy quilting distracts from the pieced blocks or the appliqué. But then I'm a simple girl myself!

Me too, Lorchen!! I absolutely LUV a traditional quilt with simple cross-hatching, either by hand or by machine. Here is one that I did 6 years ago:Originally posted by LorchenLorna, I'm glad you made it and enjoyed your day out!

Lorchen thank you ever so much for these photos and info it great to see them, and I just love reading and photos of other countries dont you.
And I have to tell you that I love cross hatching the best also, I know and love all the quilting on all the quilts but I always am drawn to the hatching, Margo your quilt is beautiful and yes the hatching is perfect for it.

Lorchen,
Thank you for sharing the North Kyme quilt show - wonderful pieces to see! Loved the doll, the applique with cross hatches and the mariners compas/pickle dish quilt!

Lorchen, thanks you so much for all the photos. The quilts looked wonderful. The church looked wonderful and the Christmasy quilts reminded me that I should probably get on with some table runners and place mats for the family for Christmas! Loved the appliqued one and the one with the mariners compass/New York beauty one. Margo your appliqued quilt with the cross hatching is exquisite. Lorna I love the idea of your fat quarter odyssey too.
