First and Last

It was a pleasure to be a part of the First and Last series of articles in the British Patchwork & Quilting Magazine. My contribution can be seen above and it was published in Issue 281, June 2017.

It is about quilters showing both their first and their last quilt. Looking at the pictures right now I am starting to wonder if people can tell without reading the article which came first?

It took time to get my first quilt out from under all the other ones (we are still working on the house so they are not stored in their usual place) and although I had a picture of the overall piece I needed to photograph the detail. It had been a long time since I last saw it and I must admit to feeling a sense of satisfaction at seeing how well it has stood the test of time.

Also, I fervently hope my last quilt will only be my latest. It would be nice to think that it will be some time yet before I make my last.
