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!

Wedding Anniversary

Today marks 39 years of married bliss. So I now have to log out and be whisked off to a lovely Indian restaurant. Back to the blog later.

The Fourth Block
Number 4-whoever started this one has chosen some lovely colours. It was a pleasure to make and I think one of the joys of P & Q is selecting the colours and fabrics. I've just finished Block 5 but forgot to photograph it before I posted it to the Chief seagull!

I've enjoyed making these blocks for a friend's brand new grand-daughter. One of these things that's good to sit and stitch while watching telly.  Hoping to do a monkey but drawing it is proving a challenge!

Back to the Blog!

This is going to be a present for my lovely dughter-in-law


Might frame this one...my husband says it's artistic!
 I've been a bit remiss in keeping my blog up-to-date. I've been so busy sewing! So what have I produced and why. Well, I was so inspired by Ineke Berlyn's workshop that I just had to finish two projects and not add them to my UFO's. The first is the stitch 'n flip landscape inspired by the artwork of the Dutch artist, Tom Schulten. The second was because of the workshop on Lutrador. Thought you might like to see them!
