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!

The Next Project?

I snapped these at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.  They were on the Brother Sewing Machine stand as samples of stitches. I thought they were lovely - the simplicity and colours and , of course, the stitching.
I'm sure some pretty pictures could be made for the arrival of my twin grand daughters in October... and I've got just the machine to make them!

Souces of Inspiration

This arrangement of lobster pots photographed on Lindisfarne is just waiting to be used as inspiration for a clamshell quilt!
This was captured in Alnwick castle in the North East of England. Home for somebody!

Earthquake

Just had an email from my son in Virginia telling me about an earthquake there. Hope everyone's ok. We're thinking about you.
