A couple of weeks ago at our Night Owls Group, I mentioned I had never finished my first piece of patchwork, explaining that the binding was not long enough and I discarded it into a box. One of the group suggest I get it out, unpick the binding and redo it. Well, I did. My placement started in about 1981, is now finished, complete with its very own 'age spot'! I showed it at S&T last night and all were impressed, particularly with the small hand quilting stitches.
I used red and white fabric way back then, our son was born in Dec. 1981. I also found some Laura Ashley fabric from 1977, whilst going through old boxes. Plus a partly made cot quilt for my nephew who was born in 1975. I must finish it.
