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!

Sunbonnet Sue (as introduced by my daughter-in-law)

An Early Quilt
An early attempt at quilting saw the production of Sunbonnet Sue. Nothing original here-straight from a book, but this was great fun with all the clothes and colours. It was like playing at dressing dolls. But my skills were very simple. I was limited to applique but getting more and more enthusiastic about Patchwork and Quilting.
