now that is a photo I really like, do you know if she has used all the same weight of fabric ie cotton or are they different weights.

I am also in the middle of a work I progress just blue and white stars.

Its Lovely ,I've been working on one for more years than I care to remember all cut out hexagon shapes pinned onto paper and everyone stitched by hand.. I'm not sure that I will ever finish it the stitches are so tiny and my eyes aren't as good as they were ,its packed away since we moved ..

Eileen: I know next to nothing about quilting so I'll have to ask her. It sounds like very tedious work. I keep mentioning the ones I've seen at the Cloisters Museum called 'Unicorns' worth millions of dollars. They call them tapestries You can google it to see.

Amy: I wouldn't know where to even begin. I don't think it's my calling, lol. Would love to see each of yours though.

I'll pop the latest 2 quilts in a mini blog.
I love tapestries too, they are usually woollen threads sewn over a canvass. patchwork quilts are small patches of fabric sewn together to form bigger pieces of fabric.

Lovely quilting Paul. I had a go when my son was little and when he slept, I quilted or crocheted.

That is so lovely Paul, I bet you treasure it.
the one regret I have is that the things my mum made for me when I was little were not kept when I grew up. She sent them to the local Dr Barnado's childrens home. When I came home after my first term at uni all my toys had gone too, all but my pink teddy that had gone to uni with me.
