Now that I'm no longer stuck in limbo (thanks Mary) I thought I would introduce myself. I like to visit these sites because you never know when you might learn something new about what you love to do. For me that's quilting for the most part. I also love to knit, make baskets and read. I also garden and I've done my share of cross-stitch, hand embroidery, ceramics and when I get the chance, I still love photography. But back to quilting. I've been sewing since I was a kid and I used to help my great-grandmother make quilts when she lived with us. I made my first real quilt when DD was 10 and she saw an afghan she liked, but wanted the same design made into a quilt. Even then, I wasn't that serious about it. It took another couple of years and 1/2 dozen quilts later that I thought if I was going to continue to make quilts, I ought to know exactly what I was doing. So I bought some books and started to teach myself the proper way to make a quilt. Now that I've made more quilts than I can count, I think I'm on the right track. I have requests from my various nieces and nephews and now that some of them are having babies, I get to continue to make quilts to my heart's content. Like I ever really need an excuse anyway.
