Mrs mart says quilting is a good winter pastime because the material and wadding keep the legs warm while the quilt is being made.

Re: Quilts

This one is pretty big at 7' x 8'. Made in the same way as the one in the previous post. Hard to spread out to photograph, so pillows removed and done in situ.

Re: Quilts

That one is beautiful Mart, a lot of hard work and concentration must have gone into making that...

Re: Quilts

Thanks. It took her about 6 months to make that one. Hard to say how many hours a day but a good few.
