Starting a basic quilt

Whilst I was looking for interesting titbits for Baby Quilt Patterns I came across a series of videos. I find learning much easier and fun if I can watch someone demonstrate. It stays in the old grey matter much better than just reading about it. I thought you might enjoy and be inspired by the video I have given you a link for. Take what you want from it - a little or a lot. What ever, I hope you enjoy it and I will see if there are any other gems I can share with you in the future.

The link is:

Still Sewing strong at 99

I was trawling through my Reader articles on Baby Quilt Patterns the other day and found this snippit of inspiration.

Victoria Mendenhall, 99, talks about her work sewing quilts at her home outside of Richmond, Utah. The quilts, like her favorite one, top photo, measure a little more than a yard square. She makes them for family and friends with newborns, and for donation to a local medical center...

A lovely picture of  the lady too. Check it out.
