I quilt, what are you wanting to do?
There are a lot of simple patterns online for free with good instructions.

You would be surprised what a sewing machine carried by wagons can create. winking I'll send you a message Robin as my settings will not allow you to send me one. If you have any questions feel free to ask flowerforyou

This quilt was made on an old old Singer sewing machine about 20 years ago. The quilt underneath this one was made 30 years ago on an even older machine than the one used for the quilt on the top.


This quilt was made using a machine newer than the old singer though it was not designed for quilting.


For Christmas my Mother gave me a new machine and I put my 17 year old machine away. This quilt was made on this machine.

I am a taxi and a bank for two teenage girls ... not enough time to have my own hobbies. Ok, that is only partially true. I have no desire to have my own hobbies as I am quite content to help them fulfill theirs.

wow. Your damn talented bnj. beautiful.


Thank you so much (((klc))) flowerforyou

I really do enjoy making quilts, well or just about anything crafty really.
These are only a few that I have made over the last 30 years.
I usually make them to give to family members.
I am working on one for a friend now.
I like to hit the clearance racks for the fabric.
It's amazing that an ugly fabric will look amazing in a quilt.
I made a black and white one for my Mother for Christmas last year.
A couple years before that I made one for my sister in blues, creams and brown.

The Family Tree Quilt I made was actually inspired by a pillow.
I think they are art in their own way.

LOL That was how my first and second machines were.
So glad they went to lighter machines now though.
