Sorry I have not posted






Life and work just get in the way of playing and quilting. I finally finished the car quilt I was working on for my grandson. My husband is happy with the cars but hates the rest of the fabric. My grandson and granddaughter actually picked most of the fabric and especially the cars and drivers. Such fun.




I started on my houses for my project. I obviously have a lot to learn. I am sure with practice my houses will get better. I guess I should read the tutorial one more time. What do you think?




I have so many ideas in my head, but they are harder than I expected to turn into a quilt. Guess thats what keeps me trying

This is the first time I have joined a group

Hi all,

My name is Jill and I have been quilting for about five years. Mostly self taught. I am not a perfectionist, so of course I love wonky. I made my first quilt with wonky letters about 3 years ago after reading Tonya's tutorial on Bonnies website. I remember having a long discussion with my son about whether there was such a word as wonky, so we looked it up, and of course it was there. Now all my mistakes just become part of my wonky quilting. I have been dieing to make a house quilt, so what better time. Please bear with me while I learn all this blog stuff and figure out taking pictures and posting them, not my strong suit. I have already dragged my adult daughter to the computer twice to get this far. I hope to finish a car quilt I am making for my grandson this week, then I will focus on houses. I will do my best to keep up. Jill
