Hello. My name is Jane and I’m delighted to introduce myself as one of your quilting group moderators. I’m based in the UK, in the county of Devon, home of David & Charles Publishers, where I’m lucky enough to work on our quilting books. This means meeting and working with some of the very best quilters in the country, visiting the big quilt shows and generally wallowing in all thing quilt-related. Life is hard.

I’ve only been making quilts for 18 months or so myself, but I’m filled with beginner’s enthusiasm. I have already managed to begin seven projects, and I’ve only finished three of them! My friends and family keep having babies and I feel duty bound to make a cot quilt each time this happens.
Then there’s Great Aunt Hilda’s 90th birthday quilt, which must be finished by May. I’ll have to keep you posted about how I get on with that one.

I'm looking forward to admiring all your beautiful work and, for my part, I hope to bring you the best in new ideas from the UK, inspiration and know-how from the professionals, and somewhere to share a laugh as I blog about my experiences. All I ask is that you never look too closely at the accuracy of my piecing...
