Her name is Kris and for years she prepared the way by enticing me with her own creations…Now she is a bear artiste and published quilter and I am irreparably hooked on fabric. To give her credit tho…she did warn me that once I started, I wouldn’t be able to stop…! If u want a good read and some lovely stuff to look at (she’s also been a journo in her long career and writes very well indeed) try out her blog…http://tagalongteddies.blogspot.com/.
It's about myself, my creative life and my family as we meander through the journey known as life.
How I became a quilter...
Today's topic is...who do you blame for your fabric addiction??? No seriously, it's about those who started u on your way...in my case, I think it was my nana's prayers!! Neither of her daughters took to sewing, and all I remember hearing coming out of my mum's sewing room was periodic explosions of wrath. So I didn't learn either, except for some unwelcome scraps of necessity like sewing on a button. Until...a major health scare, and a persistent right royal pain friend's little push. It was all her fault!

She is without a doubt the greatest girl on the planet. And I wouldn't give her up, ever! :-)

About Me
- Beeeme!
- Narangba, Qld, Australia
- Hi! I am a creative sort and at some time or other have tried out most crafts. But the one I have fallen in love with, is patchwork and quilting. Fabric is a passion with me, I often just like to stroke it as I love the feel of it on my skin. There's my son: Booboy (age 12), ,and our mad spaniel Monty living at our handmade-brick cottage at the end of the cul-de-sac. Our flood orphan, Emerald Kitty,(get it? Emerald KITTY!) has settled in with us nicely, and adores minke blankets to hide in. Recently we added two more furry cat darlings to our household, Kira The Black Ninja and Max The GingerNut. They are joined at the hip and eat, sleep, play and annoy Emmy together (also get their ears boxed by stately elder kitty together. )
