Any other quilters?

Beautiful 3HF, love the blue one. Very fine work.

I've been a quilter for about 20 years or so, but slowed down in the past few years. Don't have a big worktable, just my dining table, and can't crawl around on the floor to do the basting... so I stick to smaller projects. Have lots of UFOs, some of them large tops. Must get them finished some day.
 
My wife is an avid quilter, I just showed her the pics in this post; she says "wow!" :wink:
 

Agree, they are lovely. I tried quilting maybe 16 years ago. A fiasco! I'm somewhat dyslexic and turned or sewed the squares the wrong way all the time, ripping and doing it yet again and again.

With help I managed a baby quilt. I couldn't even bind the edges myself. I feel sad I just can't manage to quilt because I love them not only for their warmth and comfort but as an art form. I admire quilters. It's not so easy to do.
 
3HF ...Your quilt is Beautifull and my colour,:) I live in South Australia , and always go to the quilting/ craft shows .just to look at and admire the Beautifull quilts.
 
Lovely, I have done smaller pieces. Never a large quilt. I too love quilt shows. A few years ago a gallery showed some done by an artist. She combined painting with quilting. They were totally amazing.
 
Another quilter here, I like hand work, still working on my Dear Jane and a couple of Baltimores, they rotate in and out of the UFO trunk as the mood tales me along with my other crafts
 
Quilter here too. Lots of quilts finished and some big tops still waiting to complete. Sometimes its hard to start and sometimes its hard to stop.
 
Thank you for sharing photos of your wonderful projects! I really admire all that handwork. I like to sew and do embroidery and have made a few quilts - mostly crib or lap size. I have two single bed tops completed (one in 1999) but haven't had the time to finish them off. I prefer the hand quilting so that takes a little longer. Whenever I see fabrics I cannot help but sort them in my mind and combine them for awesome quilts. I have at least 3 stacks of fabric tucked away for someday quilts! Once the husband is officially retired and we are settled in our new place, I figure I will need some winter projects to keep busy. We'll see how that goes!
