Having enjoyed making the quilts below, I decided I'd search for a course where I could learn a lot more about patchwork,quilting and design. It was difficult at the start because I didn't know anyone who did it, didn't know about shows or shops and didn't know where to seek out courses. Eventually I found out about workshops in some venues but really wanted something more substantial. I decided to enrol at Craven College in Skipton for their 2 year City and Guilds Certificate course.
Boy, was I nervous as the first weekend approached and to make it more complicated, I couldn't go on the first day, so by the second day it seemed that everyone knew each other. However, it didn't take long before I was part of the group. The class had quilters and embroiderers. So, with trepidation, I had started-and what a fabulous 2 years it turned out to be. I'm going to post some of my work from the course with a little information about it.

- 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!
