Hi, This is my first post to blogger. I will try to share my quilting journey with you. My daughter who is my source of technical information is leaving for South Africa tomorrow via USA. So I hope I can manage to do this. I am posting a couple photos of recent finishes. This is a wall hanging for my best friend for her 60th birthday. It is made of blocks from Sylvia's Bridal Sampler by Jennifer Chiaverini. The blocks I chose for this quilt were ones I did for a red and white SBS swap ( only in teal and beige ), blocks with 4-patches and 9-patches as my friend likes those blocks so much and a few others that I like.
The second photo is my version of Noah's Ark designed by Lynette Anderson. My borders are a little wider than the pattern so I had to add a few extra strips to make everything fit.
Besides patchwork which I have been doing for a number of years, I have been doing a fair bit of hand embroidery this past year.
I usually have a number of projects on the go at a time. I don't get bored but on the other hand it takes longer to get a project finished.
