1 forum posts | Hi. I am a mum of three, including a 6 month old baby boy, and have recently become interested in quilting and similar projects as i want to try and make a few thing for presents next year. Would love to try a draught excluder or a personalised blanket for some relatives or my children. Is this feesable? Will not have a lot of time, only times here and there, and am not really an experienced at sewing as my mum passed away many years ago before I wanted to learn. Tips welcome. |

Our fellow quilters are a lovely friendly bunch. If you click on Projects you will find many beginner projects. I hope you have lots of fun.

![]() 2 forum posts | Hi I joined in February and was very lucky to win the wonderful joining prize of the magnifying lamp. I now spend my lunchtimes browsing the PP website (instead of working through lunch) and can't wait to put some of the hints, tips and projects into practice. I work at a school so now intend spending the two week Easter break quilting! I have just started researching quilt as you go techniques so will be attempting that soon - it's handy to know this forum is there if I need it (and I think I might). Thank you fellow members for giving me back my lunch break! Carol
