Hi Julia,I do lots of patchwork,mainly to raise funds for charity,I wouldn't advise curtain lining as it is difficult to quilt. |

Hi Julia, My Nan used to make patchwork quilts, your thread as reminded me of this and made me smile. We used to sit for hours cutting out octagon shapes of various sizes from cereal boxes and then tack scraps of material and wading to them then Nan would painstakingly (but therapeutically) stitch them together - the patterns she created were amazing then she would take a flat sheet and with more wading and ribbon for the edging start to bring the whole thing together. Have fun and enjoy your patchwork x |

How remiss of me Ann, to forget Patchwork was on your thread. I will have a look at Moobi's work on the blog. |

If you go on the craft thread Julia you will find Moonbi on there, she has sent beautiful photos of quilts she has made. I think some are still on my blog. |

I have a patchwork that has been going for nearly forty years now.Much of my life is in it but I have not done any for a few years now. That is why I like it, it is a hobby you can abandon for years and still pick up and carry on. |
