Had fun playing around with my blog and decided to have a go at uploading a picture. This a sunbonnet Sue quilt I made for my granddaughter Cerys, for her fourth birthday, May 2007. All the Sues had a name embroidered at the side of one of Cerys' friends. She loved it but pointed out there was no Dominic on the quilt. He is her older brother (6 then) and her best friend. I made her a cushion to go with the quilt with Overall Sam on it and embroidered Dom's name!

When Dom saw both the quilt and the cushion he threw a wobbly because his quilt (the very first one I ever made - makes me cringe when I see it now!) is extremely tatty so he had to have a new one as well! He trains at the Sheffield Wednesday Academy (English Football) so I made him a quilt in club colours. Quite amazing what we do for grandchildren, isn't it!
Peace to all.

It's a very cold, windy Sheffield tonight as I write my first post for this new blog. I haven't a clue what I'm doing but I'm sure things will become clear as I carry on.
I've started this blog because of my passion for patchwork and quilting. I have a large number of UFOs which will be finished one day but I am currently working on a Dear Jane quilt - very early stages!
Ok - that's me up and running - I hope to post pictures of quilts, bags etc tomorrow.
Peace to all.
