Hello everyone, I've just been introduced to your lovely site by a fellow quilter here in France.
I've been doing patchwork since about the age of 14 (30 years and counting!) but only in the last few years have I developed into a quilter - and now I've got the calloused finger to prove it! I mostly work by hand EPP and straight forward piecing, but I do machine piece if it's a simple block. I've been in France for 4 years, got two kids aged 6 and 4 and my partner is Dutch - he's away 2 or 3 nights a week on business so patchwork passes those quiet evenings a treat! I'm on a mission to cover every inch of wall in the house with a quilt - beats painting and decorating!
The challenge here in rural France is getting supplies - my two 'nearest' fabric shops are an hour and a half's drive and fairly limited in choice so I buy a lot online - even from the good old US of A sometimes, you guys seem to get those lovely new ranges of Moda, Kauffman etc way before the UK!
Cheers all!
