Breathe in...

and start typing! Welcome to my blog, this is my first foray into the online wilderness. I have been quilting for just over a year now, and would like to start by showing you my very first quilt, made of course for my little Miss B...


It was inspired by Prints Charming fabric, and yes, I spent seven months hand quilting. The tension is "unique" but I was pleased with the effect, all crunchy cotton. This is what the back looks like...


On the back I stitched a "B" and couldn't bear to finish the heart to the left, so I could always go back to the quilt if I wanted to...

That's all for now, until next time!

Congrats on starting a blog. Now I'll know what you're up to even if I can't make it to the Wednesday nights any more. Perhaps you can challenge me into making my 2nd quilt?

Best of luck & maybe we can meet up some time and compare crafts, amuse our children and drink coffee?

love,
Rachel
