When we started doing our Endeavour, I decided that I would do mine on quilt making. The first time, I set myself up and wrote a letter to one of the Islay Quilters. A few weeks after I got a reply from someone called Rae Woodrow, she was one of the Islay Quilters that said she would help me with my project. I phoned her to say when it would be available for her to come over and she said on a Tuesday at 2, oclock, I was excited! On the first visit I showed my design and picked the materials to suit my quilt. I have learned a lot throughout the weeks and I have now got the basics of making a quilt. I was so interested in making one that I have got four squares finished and two ready to attach them all together. From now on I hope to get my quilt finished and I will be entering the Grand Exhibition, it’s for people who have made a quilt or something to do with quilting.
