What colours do I like?
When I started quilting I was keen on red's and blacks anything bright and bold, now I seem to have changed  I like Japanese type taupe's, I prefer calming colour and patterns.

3.
What was the first quilt I made?
I made a cot quilt for my grandson who is 14 years old, that's how long I have been quilting (My the time flys when your having fun) It was from a book which I still have called The ultimate quilting & patchwork companion by Isabel Stanley & Jenny Watson it is a thick book with loads of small projects ideal for the beginner.
The quilt is on page 84 and is called a Country throw, I applique hearts, hands and I added cricket bats and balls, it is funny he is really in to cricket and plays for the county.

I enjoy card making and beading I have also done a course on silver clay it is very expensive but great fun to create your own silver pieces I made a heart. owl and a star for my daughter.

What do I like best about blogging?
Keeping in touch with like minded people, and seeing what they have made or seeing where they have been travelling to.
Best thing with a blog you can see all the fabulous quilt and other items that they have made, and not forgetting the tutorials which are great fun I have made things from comfortstitiching,pinkpenquin and also the Zakka style book which I found on one of the blogs

Do you like gardening.
Yes I do. I have only a small city garden full of pots, solar lights and when the weather is better I put out a couple of tables and chairs.
I love being out in the evening as the light starts to go, the solar lamps throw pretty patterns on the paving this makes me feel calm and relaxed.
