…………..that is the question.
So, you’ve got your fabric and you’re ready to make your quilt. Are you in the ‘wash it first’ camp, or the ‘just get on with it’ camp?
I would think of myself as the ‘Just get on wi…

sorry for the lack of response … the spammers were removed some time ago. Unfortunately since we rarely get comments here its not checked regularly enough, but I hope you can see the issue is resolved. If you do have any issues its often better to raise a ticket as those are checked afre more regularly.
Regards

Absolutely delighted to see Amsterdam Memories featured in your post! I bought the pattern and fabric in Amsterdam some years ago, pieced the top, and then, my extremely talented friend begged to quilt it! We loved seeing it hang in the two person category, and heard some very positive feedback from visitors.

Isobel, thanks for letting us know the name of that specific quilt. I loved it at the show, it was truly stunning!

Thank you! We love it too.
