Hello, I'm new to his group, glad I found it!! I love anything to do with fabric and quilt history, (my family would probably say I'm obsessed!). I collect as many old quilts as my finances allow, mainly hand stitched and quilted. I've been amazed at the workmanship, afer all anything that is still being held together by tiny sitches and is 100yrs old is awe inspiring. Apart from the actual quilts I like to find out as much as I can about the women who made these quilts and have many books on the subject. I am especially interested in quilts made by pioneer women, the lives they led etc.

This is my homage to the past quiltmakers. Partly hand-pieced and wholly hand-quilted, it is a replica of a small quilt to which I added several pieced borders to make a twin-size. All the fabrics are reproductions.
