Welcome to my blog. It's always great reading other people's blogs-looks great fun to do. So, now I've got some time to indulge myself in patchwork and quilting, I thought I'd have a go. So looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing the passion.

About Me

My photo
Following a lifetime spent in teaching, I'm now enjoying the luxury of having time to indulge in a wonderful hobby. I also now have time to visit my son, his wife and baby in US. Time too, for seeing my other son frequently. Keith, my husband is often drystone walling and climbing...so a girl's got to find something to do. Great news, awaiting the birth of twin grand-daughters in early October 2011...more quilts needed! Ireally welcome welcome your comments and interest in my blog. Thank you. P.S. I'm the one on the right!

Resolved Piece-Humming Birds


1. Source
 At the end of each unit we had to do a piece of work which would be assessed. This was starting with a source and developing the ideas, colours and design to produce a body of work based on the theme. I chose humming birds because I'd seen some really beautiful ones on a visit to the Cascades near Seattle.
3. Some ideas about portraying quick flight
4.The finished quilt design
5. A second design idea using feathers
6. A very 'male' quilt design
2. First ideas
Can't seem to get the hang of placing photographs just wher I want them...I'll keep working on it!
