in the quilting gallery you can see my first attempt at piecing, i finished one block and have one more that i have ready. i learned from the first one, it is a bit off, and that is good for now. it is getting close to my bedtime and i have house things i need to do still :D


I'd say it looks pretty lovely! And checks/plaids/etc are really hard to work with in a square like that. Nicely done. :) And your other projects are beautiful too -- I would LOVE to have the patience to tat.

well done!! My MIL showed me how to tat once. I asked her to slow down and she said she was tatting slow. I never did learn

Congrats! Your first block is perfectly wonderful. :-) I'd say you've taken the plunge and are well on your way.

thanks you both

I taught myself the tatting and I am still not really good at making more than one circle at a time. mostly it i do that when my mind is driving me crazy and i need to slow it down, i think it works because it takes so much concentration to keep track of what i am doing.

Cool! I have never worked with plaids/checks, and now I see it *can* be done. WTG, gyrl!
