History Tag and a Finish!
Thanks everyone for the great welcome back messages... Glad to be back online again...it is a definite addiction for me, in addition to my kids and my quilting!
Barbara tagged me with the History thingie, so here goes!
20 years ago:
I was 16 years old, and I worked summers in a fabric shop, but hadn't discovered quilting yet. I liked to sew my own clothes though...
10 years ago:
I was married just under a year and my husband and I had moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he was working as an Operations Manager in a Concrete Block manufacturing company and I was a volunteer coordinator and office manager (I was volunteer as well...) for our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. I remember visiting fabric stores in Atlanta, but I was on a break from quilting, having taught myself at 18 while in university...made one quilt and didn't make any more till I moved to Ireland!
5 years ago:
We were living here in our house in Carrigeen, Co. Kilkenny, just outside of Waterford. I had started back quiting again as the friends and family started having babies!!! I had left full-time employment at this point and was doing graphic design from home. This is they year I lost 70 lbs on Weight Watchers going from 190 to 120!!! I'm back between those numbers now, so time to get on the bandwagon again...
1 year ago:
Uh....I had recently come back from a trip to the States, and was still doing lots of baby quilts for friends and family...can't remember much exciting to tell you!!
1 month ago:
Working on my Dear Jane quilt, no doubt, as I worked on it everyday in April as part of a challenge!
Yesterday:
Finished sewing the last bit of binding on this quilt, I used variegated thread to machine quilt it...first time doing that...had good fun with it, though I'm not happy entirely with the quilting...It was a bit sparse at first following the lines I had drawn...when I started doing it free-hand it looked much better and denser... I guess I do better going outside the lines, LOL!! I used fun pieced flannel backing with kiddie prints. This will go to a friends new baby...her name is quilted into the quilt!
Today:
Will work on my Dear Jane, of course, and start quilting on my star sampler quilt...if I get the chance!!
I went and checked out her site, and don't see it there yet, so I tag Evelyn for this history thing!

I think the baby quilt you quilted came out great! way to go on tackling something new.
So nice to read the different histories on the blog ring. Thanks for sharing. Lovely baby quilt :-)
Yeah, you finished that baby quilt! I liked it before when you shared the top - it looks great all quilted up and the binding of different colors and pieced backing of fun fabrics is perfect for a baby!
OK, I am thinking about this history thing - give me a bit of time and I will try to nail my memory down!
Cheers!
Evelyn
I love the colors in the baby quilt!
