I have always crafted, my main passion for many decades was embroidery, I did a lot of
hardanger and speciality embroidery. Much like this ‘Around the
world in 80 stitches’ sampler I recently completed.
I hurt the tendons in
my arm almost 10 years ago which put paid to the large amount of
stitching I did. I now have to ration the amount of fine needlework I
do. This took me into the world of patchwork, not too many tendon
issues there!
I have attended many
classes, quite a few of Jo's fab classes but also learned so much
online from the various swaps and bees which are a constant factor of
online life.
This is a quilt I made
from the scrappy Trip Around The World quilt bee.
I love scrappy quilts
and am so chuffed with my scrappy Farmers Wife quilt, took me 3 years
but I love it.
I am so pleased to be
in the Edinburgh Modern Quilt Guild, what a great bunch of ladies. My
block is the traditional Scottish Plaid Block, there are many guides
online to this block and in books of patterns, my block finishes at
12.5 inches, it has a centre square of 6.5 inches, two smaller
squares of the centre fabric at 3.5 inches each, then two rectangles
of 6.5x3.5 and two more of 9.5x3.5.
I asked that each block
be made up of one colour, the choice is up to the chooser! The vast
majority of my quilts go to Project Linus and this one will go too. A
lovely bright quilt for some child to enjoy and cuddle.
Finally here is why I
am @budsmam, sadly no longer with us but he was my best friend for 11
years, he was Bud and I was his mam.
