I also love taking traditional blocks and putting a modern spin on them. Grateful for all the hard work and genius ideas from quilters of the past :)
To never give up and you'll find something beautiful out of it all.
When I was growing up my family didn't have a lot of money. So, my mom would use all clothing we trashed and would make something beautiful out of the rags. I remember one of the dresses and blankets she made me. It always made me feel loved that my mom made it just for me.
I'm not the best at sewing but, I try.
My great grandfather was a tailor and made us quilts from scraps of fabric he had. I have always lved quilts because of his quilts.
I follow.

I love the traditional, a true scrap quilter, and love the experiments into modern.
I feel connected to all of those housewives of the 1950's that were mail ordering the sewing machines out of the Good Housekeeping magazines! I also love being part of a movement that's bringing handmade back.

My grandmother owned a textiles factory in HK after WWII, and my mum made clothing for my sisters and me.
She taught me to sew, but my uncle's wife got me into quilting years ago. It's only become a passion in the last year, though.
My family tree includes needleworkers, milliners, and embroiderers, and my mom taught me to sew.
The past (in vintage quilts) inspires me every time I visit the International Quilt Study Center & Museum here in Lincoln.
I also love vintage clothing patterns.

I learned to quilt and do hand work from my mom and grandma. What they taught me has influenced what I do now. I love the traditional blocks and the old-fashioned embroidery, so I try to use them as much as possible while adding my own "spin" to the mix. They always told me never to be afraid to try something, if it doesn't work out, you don't have to let anyone else know! :)

Even the most 'modern' quilt or toy can't be made without using some of the old techniques.
Thanks for the giveaway! It's much fun to participate. Now all I have to do is to win one... ;)

I am very influenced by the past in my crafts. I love the old quilting patterns and fabrics. As well. I use a lot of tatting and old laces in my work.
Anyway, I restarted quilting in 2008 and now have made quilts using traditional blocks such as Antique Tile and Double Quartet.
I love traditional quilt blocks made with modern fabrics.
