So.. I've signed up for a Quilt Swap - which I am very excited about - just need to pick a villagey theme? hmmm...need to have a think. So I've been working on lots more of my projects - was thinking that one of them was looking a bit boring then had a brainwave and now I'm loving it! Just need to grow a few extra pairs of arms to cope with all this hand stitching! I remember completing a quilted piece at Uni in my first (and only) year of a BA Hons. Embroidery course at Manchester Met. to be told by my tutor - why don't you use a machine? It's quicker! - errrr...Nope - will carry on by hand, that's what I like - hence me lasting just the one year!

I'm a shoe-aholic retail manager that finished Uni a tad too early and cut short her making days - am getting right back in there - hopefully with a bit of a nudge and some motivation from you lovely lot!
I can't wait to see your progress. There are def five. I'm keeping it open hoping for more. All doing different. Yay! Hope you won't think poorly of me though. Cough. Using a machine. Cough.
