Joined another web-site in the UK and took part in my first strip-swap, Oriental fabrics. The finished article is a joint project with my DH making the frame (it was his idea!), not a lot of quilting in it but it is the first hanging I have done and will go up in this our new home!
The rest of the fabrics I shall use to make bags as Christmas presents for all the little girls in our family.
I've also uploaded a cushion that I made for my brother's birthday, he's a guitar teacher and we gave him a picture for his wedding by Glen Marcus called "It's poppin' baby, can you feel it?", the fabric matched the painting so well!

That was my Wedding Day, six years ago - we met on-line, married twelve weeks later & have never looked back!
