38 years later

The last time I made a quilt I was 15 - woah - giving away my age now !!! - the squares were much larger - and I made it for a single bed - I remember trying to reserect it but the fabric actually perished - so its about time I made another - a grown up one this time - queen size, 10 cm squares - my mum is here watching me - in fact she helped unpick the first row - making sure my pattern is right and its all squared up - will show you more as it progresses.


I am putting a few little surprise fabrics in it e.g. I cut up a Rolling Stones bandana that I bought when they were on their hot licks tour - "tongues" :) - Mind you I just realised those in the fan club might think it sacriledge - oh well each to their own.

  3. I wish I had the patience and technical skill for a patchwork quilt. I have asked my Mum to make me one for most of my life.... This one is going to be great. Lucky you have your Mum to help you too. Peta
