Getting started


When i learnt sewing i never knew i am going to be quilting some day ...I learnt to sew blouses n kurtis n stitched a few but was not so interested in it.Got married n sewing took a back stage...when I was expecting my first one I again started to sew but just did basic blankets n nappies .......again after my daughter was born all I sew was lil frocks for her n some basic cushions....I was more into fabric painting at that time so did a few sarees n cushions.
            Then we moved to singapore ....and there I got hooked to my sewing machine once again.I accidently entered a quilt shop there n was so fascinated by the magic created with bits n pieces..( till then I never heard of patchwork quilting). I was so impressed that I enrolled in a quilting class there n Bridget from Quilt n friends became my teacher n guide and what n excellent teacher she was..I learnt basics of quilting n tips n tricks n everything from her n did my first quilt which was a sampler quilt.
        There was no looking back since then.... Now am back to India and here I met a few excellent quilters n now we are like a family inspiring,helping n guiding each other.....
