About Me
I have been quilting for about 20 years, I started with Eleanor Burns QUILT IN DAY, I love her methods, fast and easy. I also made clothes for my 3 daughters. I am married for 44 years to wonderful man. We sold our home in NJ and built a beautiful new home on the Eastern Shore, Va. One requirement was a new and bigger sewing room. I think that how he got me here. He built the house himself from the ground up after retiring from AT&T. We are still getting used to the Eastern Shore after 2 years. I joined CURVES and I am on the board for the Library. I am now looking for a quilting quild. We have 3 daughters, 5 grandsons and 1granddaughter and 1 stepgranddaughter.

I"m actually going to use the same Penny Sturges pattern for the diaper bag. It's pretty room and the outside end pockets will fit baby bottles. I think it will work quite well.

I think I've been sewing forever. Quilting runs in my family and my mother let me sew on her old treadle when I was a child. It wasn't till I retired that I really got into it. Thank you for the compliment. I still feel like I'm a beginner.
We also built our dream home in NW Montana in the forrest. Love winter - can't get out so I sew all day. We have to plow 1 1/2 miles to get to a secondary road and chain saw fallen trees. I belong to a guild and also hand quilt at the historical village during the winter. I'm sure you will find a guild to join or else start one yourself.

what a nice profile, We also built our own home in the 70's hubby is a carpenter and i must say a perfectionest. OUCH sometimes. He makes sure my seams and points are correct. It has gotten to be a joke now. So when he is leveling up something i tell him it's not plumb. He kept me straight on measurements like 7/8 i hate that one. Keep on putting the Petlr to the Metal.

Yup - that's my hero! :0) Saw her last week at the American Quilters Society Expo in Des Moines, IA. What a wonderful lady. She visited with me like we'd known each other all our lives....and she never stops smiling. LOL

thanks for your comments, Patricia. I was thinking about the cabinets also. I'm just so spoiled by a 4x8 cutting table with buffalo board top that can be pinned into plus an 8x8 table, two separate sewing areas, a big board ironing board, etc. I used to do professional window treatments so it was perfect for that. I just need to scale down in my head first :0)

Hi Patricia. I use quilt patterns most of the time. I did get adventous and made a Window Shade for my beedroom in a Frank Lloyd Wright design. I have a small glass wall hanging of a Frank Lloyd Wright and I just looked at it and made a practice piece and then the window covering. It was a little frustrating but it looks fine. I have made several baby quilts that I haven't used patterns for. The pattern book I use is 400 Quilt Blocks by Linda Causee. There are 3 sizes for each design. I call it my "Quilting Bible". I have been quilting for about 4-5 years and have lost count of the quilts I made but it is over 30.
Off to quilting. I will talk to you later. Lowell ;)
