'Home is where the heart is' in progress

 

The Western Branch of the Irish Patchwork Society (IPS) has set a challenge for its members to create 26 x A3 size quilts, one for each letter of the alphabet. I picked the letter H. This A3 challenge suited me perfectly, as I didn't get a lot of time in the studio recently and it's nice to see something through to completion. I'm also hoping this is the first step towards producing a new selection of larger pieces for exhibition next summer. Small steps...
