Yep I've been quilting only 4-1/2 years but sewing in all its other forms for 50 and I covered textile arts as part of my Art & Design degree so it wasn't a difficult transition. I find that I look at quilting from a slightly different viewpoint given my underlying knowledge of general sewing, upholstery and dressmaking and it's transferring that knowledge as tips for quilting that my students and readers love most :D - ChrisChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-91399675736259270942016-03-17T21:07:54.062-04:002016-03-17T21:07:54.062-04:00What a good story!

I'll get around to posting more photos of the quilt in my header photo at some stage - that's my Juicebox Quilt with sashing based on the Cluck Cluck Sew quilt pattern and it lives on one of my living room sofas.
