Heres my first ever attempt at a star (or a "pieced" piece of quilting.....so please be nice). I bought myself a 1/4 inch seam foot and a darning foot today. I'm excited about learning to quilt (properly).
Practise might help....my apologies to the Bushfire Project ladies for practising on them !
Oh Lynette, nice work! It's looking just great. Did I tell you I began a begginers patchwork course 2 weeks ago? I am currently hand sewing a monkey wrench block but this tuesday we begin on ohio star. You are an inspiration dear friend! x H
Hey Holly, isn't that range just gorgeous !! I love the grey too....just toooooooooo beautiful. Its called Ava Rose by Tanya Whelan. There are 29 fabrics in the range, and I sadly only could only afford 7 !!! It was hard choosing which ones to get, as they are all so gorgeous. I will have to get some more now because its my very favourite !
Great to hear you are having lessons ! Can't wait to see what you make !
I'm just me, what you see is what you get, no tricks (except for lipstick and mascara). My favourite smell is fabric. My favourite flowers are roses. I love everything white, pink and shabby. I like old with a mix of new. My best memories are my grandmother (now 93 and still going strong). I have 2 big boys (18 and 20), one darling daughter and a stroppy 4 year old (my baby) also a gorgeous boy. Its a mixed up house for sure. We share this madness with Lady, shes a spoilt King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I am a Christian trying to find my feet.
waaaa ~ why is my photo like this ?

I meant to ask too what is the name of the fabric that has a grey background and pink roses on it. Think I need to make a quilt with some in it :-)
