Hi I'm Karen and welcome to my new blog "The Pretty Quilt".
Today I am quite excited as this is my first post. Although I must admit setting up the blog is a bit of a challenge for me as I am not very computer savvy. However I am having lots of fun and would be very happy for you to share my journey.
Of course this is not as great a challenge as my "Dear Jane" quilt I am working on as that is ongoing forever I think. I am using Civil War reproduction fabrics and handstitching all the little blocks as I want it to look like a replica of the original. I just love searching for the fabrics and each time I find more I then go into another world as I ponder about how the quilt was designed and made way back in the 1800s. I started my quilt in 2003. However over the years as life got in the way, as it often does, there have been many months when it was packed away and never touched. Hence it has now been labelled my "life time" project.
But that is a story in itself, so stay tuned because when I learn how to upload photos you will be able to track my progress.
I am planning to make the "The Pretty Quilt" site much prettier and hopefully (fingers crossed) I will be able to add lots of pictures with information and links that will interest you.
Bye for now. Enjoy your creative day.
