    Patchworking and Quilting are two techniques I’m passionate about it. I am searching for matching fabrics, cut them and sew it all together. Usually this results in a quilt, a table runner or a table cloth. Or a pillow. Sometimes even 2 pillows. When I started to love patchworking 14 years ago I had no…
