I started doing 'tie' quilts at church years ago. They were usually to be donated to charity. Then about 10 or 15 years ago my mother began to piece quilts (she tats,knits,crochet,sews and quilts). Mom pieced by hand from start to finish and did a quilt for each of her children (3), each of her grandchildren (5) and then great-grandchildren (still going). Each was different. So about 6 years ago I tried to go the pieced quilt route. I took some classes and was hooked. I, however, do machine piecing and hand quilting. I like applique a lot too. I do a lot of 'impromtu' quilting--do my own thing rather than follow a pattern. I am working now on a large 'honu' or turtle bedspread for my grandson. The turtle I adapted from a large turtle on a beach towel (shamelessly traced it and went from there!) I am quilting the water with sworls and edies to give the feeling of the turtle swimming. The center block is 33 inches long and about 27 inches wide. From there I did a mix of 12 inch blocks to make it large enough. I enjoy the creative expression. There are lots of babies being born to the young mothers at church so keep being making quilts for them. (one just had her baby and 5 more on the way!).
Love that little quilt your teasing us with. Hope you have fun on your trip.

I hope you will have a great weekend, I love what I can see of your winter quilt.
I started quilting between children, but never really had any time to do anything until the last couple of years as the children (3 of them) were very close in age. Now I quilt for relaxation, it's all "me-time", and I love to create.
