Dorothea's Bowls


Ich bin 61 Jahre alt und quilte seit ungefähr 10 Jahren. Es macht mir sehr viel Spaß und ich finde dabei Entspannung und Ruhe. Da ich noch berufstätig bin ist das sehr wichtig.


Now that you've seen my bowls, check out
the other bowls posting today:


August 20th

  74. What a fun set of bowls, Those added buttons and embroidery really look great. Those are beautiful fabric choices. I am so glad you hopped along. I was even proud of myself for translating that you are 61 and have been quilting 10 years! I had to use a translator for the rest. Hopefully, I have not used any slang words or phrasing that translates back to you in an odd way. I am 55 and have been sewing forever but only really putting quilts together for about 20 years and not that many quilts until recently.
