Today I thought that I would share some of my quilts with you. I only have a few larger sized quilts which are finished, so I have selected a sample to share with you. I enjoy machine sewing; foundation paper piecing; hand sewing; needle turn applique; English Paper Piecing (EPP); and embroidery. I am still not confident in Free Motion Quilting so most of my quilts have been hand quilted. A few I have had professionally quilted by Linda at Ladybug Quilting in Bendigo.
Please click on the links to see more information about each. Quilts appear in no particular date order...

DeleteBeautiful quilts. I really like Savanna Safari, Mr Lion and the hexi one. You do beautiful work. I too suffer from fibromyalgia. After all the years(19) I finally found some relief with neurontin which was given to me when I had shingles. Found that it helped so have stayed on it. But I too, when I overdo,can only get feeling better with rest. I consider my quilting my therapy. I enjoy reading your blog and looking forward to more posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mary Ann. Quilting is an amazing therapy. Hope you are having a good day.

ReplyDeleteCan I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what they’re talking about on the internet? You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
