2/2
I have other quilts I must finish first – so to appease the β€˜urge’, I’m allowing myself to put items aside, that I will use for it, as I come across them.
You know - the bits & bobs we all save and treasure, for β€˜we’re not sure what’. πŸ˜πŸ‘
To be honest, though - it’s making me more excited to get started! πŸ˜‚

I’ll be sure to share pictures, as I go! πŸ’–

I’ve always been attracted to collages - especially Victoriana – inspiring the name of my website.

I have a quilt project, that’s been brewing in my head (& heart πŸ₯°), for a few years.
Lately, it’s nagging me, louder & louder, to start it.
It’s kind of a cross between collage & crazy quilting. πŸ’

Oh my gosh, I just cleaned and sorted through Fabric and am donating a good 40 lbs worth. It's not anything that I bought, it's all stuff that people have given me and I just can't deal with it anymore. It's a relief.

I’ve become addicted to the , thanks to someone on tootville reminding me it existed. I’m a beginner and am in awe of what the contestants on the show make in a short time. One episode they had to make a patchwork jacket and make the first.

Well, last night I learnt about chintz which originated in India and how imported print were banned in the early 1800s in Britain to try to save the British weaving industry. Of course, women found a way around the ban and made the most fabulous printed fabric clothes.
