I can sympathise a little, I felt a lot of relief when I had finished my last quilt! I am looking forward to your February blog post!

I’ve just searched and found the magazine with your sailboat quilt design in it, Goodness knows why I didn’t buy it at the time! I bet a series about improv blocks would be inspirational!

Another tip I would add is to make sure the labelling stays with the wadding or label it clearly yourself! Probably obvious to most but the number of times I’ve forgotten to do this and have to guess!

I would choose whichever set off the front of the quilt well but I do like fossil fern. Cathryn

It also took sadness for me to appreciate that here and now is the best place to be so enjoy every moment of it. I want somehow for my children to learn this before they lose someone important in their lives.

I find it loads very slowly for me. I have slow broadband but I’ve compared it to other sites and it seems to be site related.
