Welcome to my patchwork journal. I enjoy expressing myself through fiber. Tiny pieces of vintage quilt blocks and fabric combined with hand stitches create my art. When not quilting I'm living a patchwork life. Always changing and helping to keep me young and on my toes. Join me in my experiences and thoughts.

Stitching Has Started
From last weeks quilt top to this weeks almost quilt. I've started the quilting process on my Quilt Alliance--Inspiration quilt. The center block has been hand quilted--just to highlight a few areas. The border is being machine quilted. The stitches are going in various directions (like the center fabric). This starting and stopping is wonderful practice for me, as I have not used this technique before and I need to work on my beginning and ending points when using my Walking Foot attachment. My goal is to complete quilting this week and begin applique. To be continued--stay tuned. Some wonderful quilts have been completed this week, check out Off The Wall and have a wonderful weekend. Happy Quilting!

I love the hand quilting on this. We so seldom see it anymore. Nice work!
