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!

Circular Seagull

The quilting group I did my recent course with are trying lots of things to keep in touch. One is by working on a Circular Seagull (or Round Robin). Our leader likes the idea of being the Chief Seagull so there we go! This month we had to maKe a square with the fabrics provided but they had to include applique. So here's mine.



I've posted last months too which had to have right angled triangles. I decided to piece that one and really enjoyed it.
Looking forward to tomorrow- a monthly quilting workshop with friends. The plan is to make felt and make vases or bowls with it. I didn't enjoy felt making at college so I'm going to start working on a baby play mat for Emma's baby. First attempt at designing with EQ7-whoopee!
