Hi, Denise!
This year I hope to really get binding down good & tight! It's quite a challenge for me & I don't want to do any of it by hand!

Also how to make a bargello quilt…that will be learned at a retreat next week:) yea!!!
Foundation piecing! It use to bring me out in hives!! I wouldn't even try. I have now attempted some mug rugs and find I quite like it, but the larger designs still have me worried. Thanks for the giveaway and thank you for including International especially now the postage has gone up by so much. Hugs Linda x

I hope it's ok if I say there isn't any new quilt related skills I want to learn. NO! I'm not perfect and know them all already, trust me. LOL What I want for this year it to improve on what I have learned to date since I began quilting a couple of years ago. If I add more to what I have a struggle with already then I will just frustrate myself. Does that make sense, I hope?
That fabric is just beautiful. Thank you for the chance.
I am already a follower of your blog using GFC as well as via email.
I need to say I need more help with Foundation piecing. I would also like to learn to make my own patterns with this method.
This is the year that I learn how to do paper piecing. I've been admiring hexagon quilts for a long time and I figure if I start smaller, maybe a mug rug or placemat, then I can get the hang of it!

Quilting – any kind, free motion, straight line, machine or hand. I am happy with my piecing now but not so happy with how my quilting looks. My ambition is always far higher than my ability haha. I expect to be able to quilt like Angela Walters despite having very little experience haha.
This year I need to learn a whole lot of quilt related skills as I am hoping to make my first proper quilt. This Christmas just gone I made my first basted, backed and bound wall hanging which was a whole lot of new skills to self teach myself. I also did my first Hexi's. I loved the challenge & am looking forward to doing more.

Nice giveaway. Want to start a quilt using black and white as the main focus, and this would add nicely to that! I would love to learn how to machine quilt. I've done most of the tablerunners, quilts etc by hand, and if by machine, only in the ditch, or about a 1/4" from the stitching. So would love to learn freemotion quilting. Thanks!
