Dipping my toe into cyberspace

Welcome to my blog. Well, the self confessed luddite has gone over to the dark side :] I'd never even heard of blogs 2 months ago and now here I am dipping my own little toe into cyberspace.
Over the past few years my quilt making and other creative activities have been put on the back burner while I dealt with a few life altering events - divorce (and resultant poverty!), relationship breakup, death, chronic illness/pain. I feel a bit like I'm emerging from a long dark creative black hole. I've got ideas for quilts buzzing round in my head. Lots of ideas....and I haven't felt like that in a long time.

This is a quilt I made a few months ago after being inspired by Louisa L. Smith's book Strips 'n Curves. I don't usually make quilts so similar to something I've seen. I almost feel like apologising that it's not my own original design idea.

I love the quilt. Nola, unfortunately I have to apologise 95% of the time as I am not very good at making quilts 'all my own design' but I do love making quilts. sheila

Thanks sheila. How did you even know I was working this last night? I hadn't even figured out how to add photos at 11.49pm. I was still scratching my head and trying to figure it out well into the wee small hours last night.
See you Wednesday, hopefully.
