Does this count?

This is Amanda checking in. I made this small quilt last week, using the pattern from Happy Villages by Karen Eckmeier. Well, it's not really a pattern, more of a set of guidelines. It was surprisingly easy to make, and extremely effective. I've made it for the Christmas Raffle at the Nursing Home that looked after my mother-in-law in her last days. What do you reckon? Does it count as wonky houses? The photograph isn't great, but it's a really grey day here in the UK.

Sorry, I meant to add this picture to my post - this is my first liberated quilt, Home is Where the Heart is, finished a couple of days ago and ready for quilting.

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 !!!
