My First attempt at American Patchwork.

Last September i joined a patchwork group. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not so decided to give it a go. Well! i am know addicted to patchwork and just love my weekly classes.

I chose to make three samples of patchwork from The New Sampler Quilt book by Diana Leone, I've  made two and nearly finished the third one. The designs are all individual and stitched by hand.

 No 1 quilt. This was my first attempt and took me three months to complete.

 

 No 2 quilt. With a lot more confidence i managed to finish this one in 1 month. The old clothes horse was a rummage find last Saturday. I paid just 30p. What a bargain. I used some old gypsy pegs to peg it on the horse.

 I was'nt sure what to use them for, but think they good as table centres. The red one looked good on my white table.

 The green one goes well on my old pine table. I used some Laura Ashley fabric for the backing.

 My third piece of patchwork is not finished yet, but hopefully it will be done for my monthly project i am doing on my blog.

 All i need now is another table to put it on.

My next project is to make a friendship quilt, so watch this space..............
