Newbie from Ottawa, ON

Hello everyone!

I've lurked for a couple of days, posted on Friday last week looking for help regarding basket weaving a quilt ... and got lots of responses and help! Thanks very much for the warm welcome, and generous responses!

My preference for quilting is to go on pinterest / or google images of quilts and take an idea and go from there.

I have only sewn one quilt from a pattern and hated it LOL ... oh my the restrictions LOL and the structure ... what fun is that?

I don't name my quilts, nor do I know the names of 99% of them since I just wing it.

I sew about 15-20 of them over the winter and donate them the following Christmas to a variety of charities.

Here's the latest one I am donating (I do KNOW the name of this pattern LOL ... tumbling blocks!)

Thanks all! That is one of my favourites ... hard to donate, but there's no more room on the walls!

Welcome from Louisiana, glad you found the site. Lovely tumbling blocks. I also am horrible with names of patterns, blocks, etc. I just look at pic's and go from there. You're not alone.
