Quilt 2005 - another view

Quilt 2005

I make quilts for wedding and baby gifts. This is me with a quilt I made for my friend Julia and her husband Jeff when they got married in April 2005. The multicolored design is a "Stack 'n Wack" pattern. You can find the books that describe this technique on Amazon.com. The author is Bethany Reynolds. It's a great technique and the results are fascinating.

Introduction

When I was a little girl my grandmother and mother taught me to sew. Then I learned to knit. Later on a friend convinced me to try cross stitching and I did lots of that for a while. As I approach retirement, I am looking forward to having more time to really focus on all the skills I have developed and find a way to integrate them.

For now, I am going to post photos of things that I have made with a little explanation of how it came about.
