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!

Disaster!!!

My trusty, workhorse sewing machine broke as I was finishing Grace's quilt. Off to the repairers and fixed - hurray!  But then it happened all over again. Oh dear, looks like Grace is destined never to receive this quilt. However, I haven't lived with an engineer for 40 years for nothing-so I got busy on the mechanism, patiently watching how things move, when and why and  guess what? It's working again but I'm going to have it serviced while I'm away-did I mention that I'm going to the Festival of Quilts?
