An introduction. My name is Eleanor, I am Irish, currently unemployed and, more pertinently to this blog, a new-ish but thoroughly obsessed quilter. I'd always liked the look of quilting and patchwork, and last year started classes. Our group is small, and to be honest is run more along the lines of encouraging people than necessarily teaching, so I've been reading blogs etc for some more tips, and was itching to join in! The problem was, I couldn't think what exactly I would blog about. I've blogged before, and it's just dwindled away, so I thought this should have, at least to get me going, some sort of aim. So you can guess from the existance of this that an aim I have! More of later, when I have myself bedded in here.
A photo is needed, which will explain rather a lot about me, maybe! This
is the first patchwork thing I made, and a year later it's still like this - unfinished! To be honest, though I am ambitious enough (hence a 25 block Storm at Sea being the first thing I make!) I am worried about messing it up quilting it, so have left it to one side until I get more experience with quilting. I'm making my way there, though, with baby quilts and throws. You'll have to excuse the photo, I just couldn't get a spot big enough for to lay the quilt out, never mind then being able to fit it all in! As it was, I had to stand on a chair to be able to get that! I'll have to dig it out and see about taking a better photo!
So that's me, signing off for the first time, and now I'm off to go and stalk some of you! (As in, add your blogs to this! Any suggestions gratefully received!)
