Good Day from Australia
Hi, I am new to quilting and having some time off work has inspired me to have a go! I found The Curious Quilter this year, and was inspired by her charm swap - so I have been taken up with 2" fabric ever since. It was so exciting to get all the charms. I made a quillow a few years ago and loved it. I sorted my mother's house after her passing, & when I got to the the fabrics I was quite emotional (all those scraps from my dresses when I was growing up were there!) My mother was quite a cotton fan, so I inherited lots of really good quality cotton fabric! So I need to make a memory quilt at some time. I also enjoy candlewicking but am yet to complete a project so I have ufo's. I enjoy the journey of whatever craft I am doing.
My friend, djmat, suggested that I come over here to meet all you lovely people so here I am. Happy Quilting |
Howdy, dear friend. So glad you've introduced yourself. Welcome to the Board.:D We are going to have so much fun here. The folks here are sweet & so smart, they will help us learn faster & keep us from wasting fabric!
Hey, June 5th is the last day to sign up for a 2.5" charm swap here on QB. I've signed up for 30 sets now I need to get cutting. If you are interested go to the Member Swap Thread & look for June 2.5 swap. Off to find my rotary cutter. Hugs to you & yours! djmat |
Thanks for the lovely welcome djmat. Sounds like we will have lots of fun. Look at you - up for 30 sets of 2.5" charms. You will have heaps of charms - will be able to make some lovely quilts. Hugs

Welcome from Texas! If you want an easy way to cut the 2 1/2", I have cut many, many from my scraps with my Accu-quilt Go. I use my 2 1/2" strip die and 5" die more than any. You have some great memories to inspire you! Have fun.

Hi mvsim, here are the two quilts I tried to send in PM. The first one is found at http://www.quiltingbookspatternsandn...Horse%20Studio
A gentleman here on QB made one over the winter & his is absolutely breathtaking. [ATTACH=CONFIG]418728[/ATTACH] and the following one can be found at http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t219966.html [ATTACH=CONFIG]418727[/ATTACH] QB 2.5" charm swap hosted by Fraew to make this "Charming Addition", it is truly charming! What do you think of my Wish Quilts??? Sorry I couldn't put this in a PM. Hugs, DJ |
Wish Quilts
I love the "Charming Addition" 2.5" Quilt I checked Fraew's earlier posts, from where she started. I really do like this - I can see why it is on your wish list. Their must be 4 pieces of each colour to make the cross. What a good idea. It is something I could easily put on my wish list - I think I could manage it!!!
Las Cruces is very intricate & looks like a lot of work to me!!! Being a raw beginner!! Love the way the crosses are done and it will be absolutely lovely - can also see why that is on your wish list - definitely something to aspire to. Hugs Marie |
Just think of the applique classes I'll need to take!
