As my son is now at "big" school now ...I'm a tad redundant. I decided I would have a go at the City & Guilds patchwork and quilting course, for something to do. It however has given me too much to do and I seem to spend all my time sewing these days. Never mind the housework - what about the latest sample!!! I have even been neglecting my knitting and writing my blog.
Week 3 was all about folded patchwork - Somerset and Prairie Points. I got most enthusiastic about the Prairie Points and did a few samples. The boat sampler was made from Biting type Prairie Points trapped between wedges of fabric.

The sunflower was made from continuous Prairie Points with a Suffolk Puff as a flower centre.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiFBLc9FKCTnuHrPotI9xYrbtbDv_nKeJYDsdeTZ0CWEUwZUmRrEIDP5phP_3tmLfauph866UULqTIrPn37XEEman1kNPYrvy5uFFaklo5RQFGVu5SYxRmcH2w6YwucgaMN_XjYahAnkQ/s400/blog.jpg)
