Wow! This really is 1 of the most beneficial blogs I’ve ever occur across on this subject. Merely Amazing
I am sure that Your books with plenty of photos are great. Can quilting been learned by books or going to courses? Doing is learning, but so is also visiting on quilt shows to get ideas and to “sniff the fresh winds”.
I and my wife we always visit on quilt shows. Here are few examples of
Finnish quilts and patchworks.
Last week-end we were in Vaasa, Finland were was the great annual quilt show. My photos I’ll publish later.
Happy quilting!
Hi,
I think that you can learn to quilt from books but I also think that nothing beats hands-on experience. I think that a combination of books and classes is the best way to go.
If you already know how to use a sewing machine, I think books can boost your quilting ability and then you can use classes to see and learn special techniques such as paper piecing or machine quilting.
And I am going to check out that Finnish website you sent the link to. Being of Finnish descent, I really enjoy Finnish design.
Thanks,
Sonja
How glad I am that You replied so kindly. Thank You. My wife is quilter and beader also. In the first part of my posts there are some quilts made by her. In my posts there are a lot of photos, so You need a cup of coffee or maybe two.
If You are interested in Finland, then my blog is the best to explore it thru my photos. There is nearly everything from Finland and from its people’s hobbies. My series with 14 posts telling about our trip “Beyond the Arctic Circle” has been very popular. In its first part there are photos from the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi. Sana is living there.
I bookmarked Your site and will visit there again.
Have a lovely day!
