Next I couldn't wait to start on one for myself and begin ones for my boys. So after finding some great seaside fabric at Kisco I began my 'holiday' quilt and similtaneously one for Max with a 2cv theme. Soon after that I was on a roll and felt confident to sew one as a gift to my parents who have their june birthdays within days of each other - I sent for beautiful Philip Jacobs fabrics from the USA....

My interest in quilting first appeared early March when I attended a brilliant workshop with a great quilting lady and we made a pieced star..I was smitten
Only weeks later saw a great community effort to produce a Wedding Present Quilt for our friends         Ann-Marie and Steve. I led a workshop teaching that self same pieced star to a group of Ann-Maries nearest and dearest and a beautiful quilt emerged sewn with great humour and love.
