Thank you all so much for your warm welcome - I´m overwhelmed.
Meanwhile I found out how to upload pics and here are some of my
quilts I wrote about.
this was my first quilt:

here a detail of the quilting I did in each corner:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400322[/ATTACH]
But I made a lot of mistakes and I was too economical for an adequate seam allowance, thought I would save fabric - now I know much better !!! Yeah, you have to make mistakes so you can learn from them
afterwards I did a memory quilt for my dad with important dates, events and hobbies of his life - I painted them with colors for painting fabrics:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400323[/ATTACH]
here a detail - that marks when my hubby came into our life
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400324[/ATTACH]
and here my latest work - a quilt and a matching pillow for our godchild:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400325[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400326[/ATTACH]
I also made some mug rugs and some potholders.
For all quilts I didn´t use any instructions; for my new project it will be the first time I have to follow exactly the instruction
a huge challenge for me.
