I used to be very crafty - knitting, crocheting, cross stitch. But then my Raynaud's got worse, and I find doing things with my hands to painful. But I miss having a project to work on (other then scrap booking, which I'm woefully behind in). I've never been much of a sewer (is that how you spell that? It looks suspiciously like the thing the toilet is connect to) but Hilary sews. I've helped in past projects but usually just cutting and ironing.
We decided that we needed new quilts for our bed, and since we take a European approach to bed clothes, we are making 2 twin size quilts. We picked out fabrics that complement each other, but are very different. And I've decided to do my quilt all by myself!
My quilt will be stripped blocks in oranges, pinks and greens.
Hilary's quilt will be blocks of smaller squares in blues, purples and pinks.
Hopefully we get them finished before winter is over!

Those are going to be so beautiful! I've just started crocheting and knitting again and can't believe how much dexterity I've lost. I'm hoping that it will come back with time.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
