Gold Quilt

I love quilting.  I consider myself an advanced beginner.

Quilting is a way to express myself.  I love traditional fabrics and tradtional patterns. 
Here is an example of what I enjoy (for myself) - this was made for our big guest room. 
Double Irish Chain with Moda's Morris Tapestry fabrics.  The pattern for the quilt is from the Quilt in Day Irish Chain book, the pillowcases and shams were my own design, influenced by the pattern for the quilt.
It was my first bed skirt too!  It was difficult to figure it out, but I managed.  I made the decking out of an old duvet cover that was past it's prime (as no one would see it).  I will caution you though the corners at the foot of the bed were a pain.  Each side has an inset (you can't see it well in this picture). 

I will post instructions for the bed skirt in another blog later.

    I think your guests would never wish to leave!

    I can't wait for the bedskirt tutorial, as I have wanted to make one but have been nervous.
