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!

Job Done-Grace's Quilt Finished!!!

The  finished article - the colours work well and in some lights you can really see the relief formed by the quilting. I've done a lot of free motion quilting on this and am getting better, but want to take big strides forward in this. I really enjoy Leah day's 365 day tutorial, her demos are very clear to follow. I'll put the link in in my next post.

I added a hanging sleeve so the quilt can be used as a wallhanging, a single bed quilt or a play mat...and of course, a label.

Hope she likes it!
