The Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I aspire to being a decent gardener but I know that quilting is beyond me. When I was at school the needlework teacher said my patchwork was the worst she had ever seen. Her other subject was handwriting where I was equally lacking!

I have a cousin in Australia who is quite an expert at quilting. Obviously the talent was not from any shared genetic heritage :P I love the colours of that quilt. But I will stick to real roses myself - much easier to grow!!!!!!!!

Today is my birthday-a slight groan because it's the U.S. Tax Day- I "come of age" in the Shire reckoning. But since the requirements to join the Tolkien Coming of Age Club is to have been reading LotR and other Tolkien books for at least 18 years, I'm just popping my head in the door and saying "Hi and see you in 13 years".

Esty, that is a beautiful quilt. How long did it take you?
