The Beginner's Quilt Along

Pat Sloan is one lady whom i admire. I have been following her work for ages now. So when i heard she is hosting the Beginner's Quilt Along i was excited. The blocks would be all fairly easy to make and i am sure they will give ample practice to people who are new to piecing. I have my hands full at the moment so i am a couple of blocks behind however i hope to catch up over this weekend. Do take a look!

A quick post!

This entire month has gone in a mad rush with relatives and engagements and dinners and parties. I just have the time to show you my first quilt that i actually charged for. It is a baby quilt with cushions ans i hope baby Malhar loves it as much as his parents have. More on this later.......for now....just the snaps.

I am off to shop for my daughter's birthday party. Do let me know if you like this one.....being the first custom quilt i am feeling rather proud of myself :).

Small steps

When i renovated my home i had packed this little one away with my other quilting stuff. I thought i would hang it where i can see it now so that i remember to quilt a bit each day! So it will stay in my kitchen....that's the place where i am most of the day. I love the scraps that went into it and i have saved bits of all those fabrics to use again. The binding fabric is part of what i have used for the backing. It is what i picked up from my mom's stash when i went visiting her last. 

IMQG Meet, Pune and the Good Times!

I must be the last one to talk about the meet!. Facebook is buzzing with the news of the meet and the discussions about the wonderful time we had. What i liked personally was that feeling of oneness that only one single hobby brought into us. We just didn't feel like we didn't know each other. The bonding was instantaneous and wonderful! We were a bunch of girls out to have fun and we did have lots of it! The lovely Bernina machines, the yummy fabric, the giggling, chatting to glory without bothering whose listening to whom.......all this was so refreshing. And the icing on the cake was the bundle of Snuggles that i won! :)
