Quilting

Post by itsybitsy »

Does anyone have any experience of quilting? I'd like to have a go but I don't know where to start!

Itsy, you might want to start with a mugrug. A small quilted rectangle, for a mug and a small snack.
If you go to www.craftster.org you'll find anything and everything related to crafts. Quilting has a section of its own. Look under Community and you'll find every bit of info you'd like.

I'm not a very experienced quilter but do a lot of crafting. Feel free to ask.

Thanks DD. I've got big ambitions to make a nice cozy quilt for my bed and if I turn out to be okay at it then I'm considering whether it could be an additional income stream. I have a friend who owns a fabric shop and she always has loads of scraps!

something I've always wanted to do but will have to wait for the summer months (and some money as I don't have a sewing machine).
Let us know how you get on

I don't have a sewing machine...I'll be doing it by hand. Is that mental???

I think it would be a tad quicker by machine! ;)
Of course you can do it by hand - me thinks you have a very romantic idea of quilting by the fireplace, with candlelight, rocking in your rocking chair. :mrgreen:

However, to consider it as a possible 2nd income doing it by hand would never be financially feasible.
