Been here before :):)
Ok I was here back in 2008 and then had serious health problems so never got started with patchwork and quilting
in the mean time I joined the spinners weavers and dyers in my county and they have just started a patchwork group
so here I am hoping to start over - I have done many fabric items but am still a real novice at patchwork as I haven't started yet
with a cushoin and I will see how I go from there - it has lots of seems and quite a bit of cutting so I will be able to use a rotary cutter and do 1/4 inch seams quite well by the time its finished - then an applique flower
and of course I will do the back
at patchwork group I will be working on something else - a sampler quilt want to do it in all black and whites (beacuse I have them) and use teal for accents - the book we are using is by Lynne Edwards
I wonder what your essential tools are
I have a 24" rule a 12" and a 6.5 square a cutting mat a 45cm and 28cm rotary cutter and several machines - my trusty 201 singer and a couple of more - featherweight for one love my hand crank singer - and I have two electric ones far more modern
so that is what I have and I have some money - so what would you by
