I've made a quilt!


Hello All


I promised to make something (originally a leaving card!) for my boss who is retiring soon and it has turned into this quilt!
I am so pleased with this mini quilt as it is only my 3rd ever!...I am an embroiderer - not a quiltmaker, but I just love art quilts and have been dying to try it for myself.

This is not an art quilt, just a quilt that has embroidered images of the things my boss enjoys doing...but it has given me so many ideas for my next one! It measures 12inches x 12inches (30cm x 30cm).

There is something I really like about the texture of fabric when it is closely stitched and quilted.
I will hang it from either Japanese chop sticks - if I can locate some, or an old violin bow, failing that, I shall roll up some sheet music into a tight cigarette cylindrical shape and use that.

Anyway, hope you enjoy looking at it. :)...enjoy your week.
