Hello from Amanda

Hello - I presume this is the plan, to all join in on the blog, so here's a bit of an introduction to me. I started quilting about a year ago, after retiring as a teacher. I've made several different bed quilts, lap quilts, quillows, wall hangings etc. I love to combine stitching and patchwork, and to mix hand quilting with machine piecing. I recently made my first liberated quilt, thanks to Tonya's blog and site for inspiration, and am about to start hand quilting it. So, now seemed like a good time to make another, especially as I haven't nearly enough to keep me busy coming up to Christmas !!!
