I thought I might show you the first queen size quilt I ever made. It was made for a colleague at work who wanted it for a wedding present for his sister. The quilt took four months to make. The quilting was done by a fabulous lady at My Father's Heart. It was a bit hairy sending the quilt to Bradford and waiting for it to come back! The fabric is Moda French Generale. It's a mix of a few collections. The pic at bottom right is the backing. The size is 88" x 98". The top left is the top put together before the border was put on. The quilt was then sent to Italy. I have to say I am very proud of it.
lovely to see you back blogging Burn! LOL at your story about mothers day, and love the little knits!!! By the way, everyione the quilt looks even better irl!
I live in Woodingdean which is just outside Brighton with Ron - to whom I have been married since 1975! We have two grown up sons and three grandchildren - Milla, Veronica and Vaughn. I am retired.
I love anything to do with fabric and paper, crochet and knitting. Don't mind taking the odd photo or two either!
I warn you now I have a wicked sense of humour !!!
I hope you enjoy hearing my tales as much as I enjoy telling them to you!

To have it machine quilted! It cost £100 to do that (including the wadding)!
