I have been surrounded by quilters lately....and you know what?
These "quilty people" have hijacked my every thought for a few days now....
so much so that I began this on the weekend......
Yep, I have begun a quilt. Yes you heard me, a fair dinkum, dinky die quilt. I decided to make it for my Grandmother for Christmas......
(I know some of my family read my blog so please DO NOT say anything or there will be trouble...)
I have made 9 blocks already with this one being the central one.
I never thought I would say it... but I think I am beginning to like quilting!!!!
Maybe these "quilty people" have good reason to be so obsessed.
Wish me luck...

Oooooooh Kathryn, how gorgeous is that, & you have embroidered in the centre. I have made 3 quilts, quite a few years ago & have done quite a bit of embroidery & just find it so relaxing. Maybe I should get back into it. Your Grandma is just going to LOVE it, what a great Chrissie pressie.
Happy quilting

Kathryn ~
I've been wondering about you! Now I know why you've been absent. That quilt square is beautiful!!! Your grandmother will love it for sure ~ mostly because her granddaughter made it for her. I know that's how I would feel.
I'll be praying for a lot of un-interrupted time to devote to your quilting.
And oh yes, I'm quite partial to that phrase ~ "fair dinkum, dinky die"!
Have a happy one!
It's beautiful Kathryn! I think you will make a fantastic quilter..
What a beautiful quilt this is going to be! Your grandma is so very, very lucky! Don't worry! I promise I won't tell, LOL! ;)
The colours in your quilt are beautiful Kathryn. I look forward to seeing the photos when it is finished.
Hugs,

Geeeeeeeez, with all the talent you don't need any "luck"...it looks so pretty!

Looks very delicate and pretty!
My siter is a quilter but I cannot sew a stitch!
I lack the patience required to do it!
All the patience I possess goes to raising kids...Hee,hee
Looks great! I look forward to seeing how your quilt progresses.
