I have been a quilter for over 15 years now, inspired by my late Grandma Emma who spent many hours quilting and Tatting. My first ever quilt I made in honour of her and cut out each 2 ½ inch square of fabric with scissors, stitched each piece together by hand with needle and thread, then hand quilted it...I was 23. Tatting, the ancient art of Victorian lace making, she taught me at the age of 12. And although quilting has somewhat taken over my life, I still enjoy the art of Tatting now and again.
As promised, here is a bit of an update on the Timberline Log Cabin wall hanging that I have been working on. All 36 center blocks are complete and trimmed. I quickly set them up on the table but I can see now from the picture that I need to do a bit of a switch a roo to get them looking right. Won't be too long now until she is complete and I can get the border on...and what a stunning border it is!!! Just you wait and see...
Your blocks are gorgeous. I love the soft colors you chose. It's so exciting, isn't it? To lay out the blocks and see the first glimpse of the quilt to come.
