Well I've been making progress this week on the purple rag quilt. The fabric arrived and I started cutting out, the purple velvet is going to be 10" size squares and all the others will be 5" squares. The fabric bottom right in this first photo is going to be the backing fabric. Here are some photo's so far....
The first heart on the right, I machined around the edge but I think it looks better hand quilted so I'm going to unpick it and re-stitch it.
It's the first time I've done hand quilting and I think it looks okay for a first attempt. Come back soon for another quilt update.

When I can get near the missisus laptop I'll dig out some pictures of some of the 'memory books' my sister makes. Failing that, I'll take some piccy's of one she did for elder daughter.
Calling my sisters work a 'scrapbook' is like comparing a doodle to a Van Gogh - much like your work. Her Memory Books go for a minimum of £50.
I'll put you in touch. I think your art has a lot in common. I'll throw some suggestions in her direction :) xxx
