Let's talk
quilts!
Quilts are treasures! They are meant for sharing. They make great gift
ideas for that someone special or a special treat just for YOU!
Nothing says "comfort" like handmade quilts with the feel of soft
cotton fabrics. They're great for relaxing on the sofa while
reading a good book or cuddling with up to watch a movie. They are meant to
be used.
While I have been sewing since I was in first grade, I have only been
quilting since 2002. My wonderful mother-in-law Betty taught me.
For more about my story, please click on About Me.
This is my
hobby!
I don’'t claim to be an expert. It's just something that I totally
enjoy! I would quilt 24/7 if I didn't have other obligations.
Even when I've had a stressful day at school teaching journalism to
high school students, I can't wait to get to my room and put in a
favorite movie or turn on an evening television show--I must admit I'm
addicted to shows like Gray's Anatomy and Dancing with the Stars. I'll
spend an hour or so sketching out a new design, cutting fabric, sewing
on a project, or getting behind my quilting frame to complete a project.
If you're an experienced quilter, I look forward to you sharing some of
your knowledge and secrets. If you're a novice, I hope that
we can be of some service to you.
Site Design
In the Supplies section, I'll share with you the basic
supplies you
would need to get started, such as cutting mats, rotary cutters, and
rulers. Then work all the way up to sewing machines and machine
quilters.
I'm always looking for better ways of doing things: both to save time
and energy! Any time I find a good technique, I plan to share it. If
you are too, visit the Tips section.
Under the Blocks and Quilt Designs tabs, I'll offer you some of
my favorite designs. You can take these, put your own fabric choices
in, and create your own wonderful project.
If sewing's not your thing or interested in a quick gift, check out my
Quilt Gallery where I offer some of own quilts for sale.
Let's share-
Please visit my blog. I look forward to sharing my
successes, trials
and errors. I hope that you'll share your stories, too. We can learn
together. We can talk favorite fabrics, sewing machines, patterns and designs,
and much more.
I'll be sharing stories about what projects my friends and I are
working on at the time. I look forward to you getting to know my
quilting friends. I'd love to get to know yours too.
And, if you ever have any special questions and can't find the answer
here or anywhere on-line, please contact me. I'll do my best to help
you
find the answer.
Thanks for visiting.
