I do not ever intend to give up quilting. I am using 4 sheets to make my first quilt, it was a test to see if I had what it takes. I am also totally addicted now.
Hope to show you some pictures soon. My Sony digital camera was free and that is the only way I could get it.

What a fantastic parcel to receive, really beautiful colours and patterns. I guess quilting can get expensive, but don't forget, it's roots began out of frugality. I often use vintage fabric and cut up clothes, I find it fun and it helps with my budget. I don't have expensive machines and if you look at many of the beautiful quilts displayed by members here, many are made with treadles and quite basic machines.
