There is a first time for everything!

First post!
What do I write? what do I say?
Have not got a clue but there's a first time for everything so here goes...

Hello,  I am kim and I sew.
I sew for a living, I sew for a hobby.
This is my latest finished quilt , a small one just for my kitchen table.
I started with some dresden circles, made from off cuts of curtain fabrics, added some ric rac and crochet trim.



Applied them to squares of my tweedy trousers.
Loved the fabric, when I lost weight I could not bear to throw away lovely fabric so thought I would use them in this quilt. Plus a checked skirt given to me 'to cut up'.


Quilted with coloured cotton threads in a starburst sort of way.
Backed with a sunny yellow rose print.





Well that's the first post over, please do leave me a comment.

  3. Your Dresden quilt is so pretty! I love that you used curtain fabric for the Dresdens and cut up pants and skirt for the background blocks.
