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!

How It All Began

So here we go! I've been thinking about having a blog for some time now but still not very good with moving photos around computers - so anything could happen.
How did I get started into P & Q? I was asked to make a 'chuppah' or canopy for my son's wedding to Jen. Having no idea what one was or how to proceed, I spent a few weeks visiting fabric shops and picking people's brains. I decided to make a quilt...but didn't know how to do it! To cut a long story short, I came up with the goods and produced what was asked - a 'chuppah' on the theme 'The Tree of Life' which displayed fabric photos from generations past, people present and images of important events in the life of the bridal couple.
