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!

Getting Ready!

Time to start making my shopping list for the Festival of Quilts at Birmingham.
Now let me see....do I need anything? Yes. Do I want anything? Yes. Will I be tempted by things not on the list ? Absolutely! So...

1. A few rotary cutters for the '3rd Ager Group' satring in September.
2. A couple of cutting mats for the same.
3. A lot of wadding.
4. Threads for Emma and Jennifer's quilts(still in the planning stage, i.e. my head,but fabric brought home from US).
5. Some 'Pink Pig' books for making journals, if I can find them.
6. All the other things I can (a) carry
                                                 (b) afford
