Quilters Introduce Yourself

Instead of writing a big, long thing about how I also dabble in quilting, I was just going to post a picture of the first ever quilt I ever attempted, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. So here is the big, long thing instead. I have a very large quilt that I am putting together from an old mattress topper I took the sides off of, but that one is more tied than quilted because of it's size and my equipment limitations. My third planned quilt is actually a set of two matching twin size quilts that are going to be the first major project for my 1904 treadle machine once I get that back into fighting shape; fabrics are all picked out and everything, all rolled up together and rubber-banded (you folks call them "elastics", right?) ready to go when the time comes.

I got into quilting during the lockdown. I couldn't work so I'd sew. Discovered EPP (English Paper Piecing) and feel in love with handsewing each little piece together. My first quilt was one of Tula Pink's subscription. Receiving a bundle of fabrics each month to make up blocks was so exciting and there was no pressure to finish them. Just took my time. 

Now on my next quilt, the Dream Catcher. Only just started this one and enjoying the different shapes and colours it's creating.
