I've just looked back over my last week or so's blogging and realised that I need to increase the fibre content somewhat! So here is a picture of the first patchwork thing I did, which got me into quilting and made me decide to do C&G. I did it in a mixed crafts class, the year my youngest son started school. The picture is based on Pertisau, a small village in Austria where the Chalet School stories are first based - it is set on Lake Achensee which is absolutely beautiful. I made the picture using freezer paper shapes to do the applique and also the perspective lines by piecing them.
