About Me
I've been married to a "quilt husband" Randy for 40 years, have two boys - Pete and Keith who are on their own, but all have been very supportive of my quilting. In addition to quilting, I'm a landscape designer and create holiday decor for my clients.

I've been quilting for about 38 years; have been a professional quilter for about 35 and an NQA Certified Quilt Judge since 1974. I love quilting but don't have as much time as I'd like for it since running my landscape design business takes priority most of the year. The winter is my time to catch up on my quilt projects. I'm hoping that joining this group will keep me inspired all year - maybe even grab a chance to quilt over the summer!
Hobbies and Interests

My Pets
Harry - the amazing disappearing Tuxedo Terror and Muneco, our grandpooch that we're babysitting for

Good morning, I tried the antique overhead I have and it did nt work. The tansparency was to slide through a small slot on the underside, would of needed to be just 4X6, which when you weant to do some detail is not cool. So what I am getting at is that I am going to have my 8X10 transparencies ready then after my company leaves I will go down to the church and use their more modern machine. Will keep you posted, just didn't want you to think I hadn't tried anything yet. I am excited to work with an overhead, as the free hand I do takes soooooo much time.
Have a great weekend,
Linda

I went and pickup my overhead projector, boy is it old! But it works which I am thankful for. I have looked high and low for my photo, so am printing another one. I do have some transparency sheets so will do a little drawing. then you put it on paper on the wall? I am thinking I will try muslin, then I can trace over with quilters stuff (I say stuff as I am not sure what they call it, but it is a roll of probably 18" wide clear sheeting that I sometimes use to predraw a pattern for a quilt. I lay it on the quilt so I can see if I like it or not.
Yes I am proud of my nephew as he has done so well for himself. He really loved Baton Rouge, they go back on occasion.
I'll probably have questions for you tomorrow about this working with an overhead. I have Marilyn Belford's book and she uses the projector as well.
Thanks for you help, have a great evening.

Welcome to the Love of Art Quilts, we are so very happy to have you aboard. I have just watched your slide show, the tree house quilt is beautiful and all of your machine quilting is the best.
I am with you on the can't draw, well with a huge eraser I can, but it does take a lot of time and patience which I have very litte of either. I love the idea of the overhead projector, have one at my sisters which needs to come home, as I am now working on an art quilt for a contest.
Just wondering if the guy in the LSU sweatshirt is your DH. My nephew went and graduated from LSU in their Vet. Hospital, he is a surgical specialist in Houston now. Just curious.
Look forward as will everyone else to having your input in our group, we have a very lively group, I also look forward to spending some time viewing all your work.

I love the quilt that you made for Lili and she lookes so cute on it. Where did you get the pattern for it as I'm going to have a granddaughter the end of Jan. I made two baby quilts already from block that I had done a long time ago. Thanks for your help. Marjorie

When my children were younger, and we moved from GA to AK, I told my mother not to feel sad because we were just a plane ride away--that's coming back on me now. An hour seems an hour too far! DH is a better--he eats what is easy when I'm gone, even when I leave meals in the freezer. I've been trying to get his syringes straightened out for a week now--the VA sent one box of .3ml which would cause him to do 14 injections a day instead of 5. It isn't brain surgery, but we changed facilities and doctors when we moved and it takes a while to get all this fixed.

Lily Grace is absolutely beautiful--she and her quilt were made for each other.

BRRRRR!! I don't like the rain and freezing rain either. We're finally seeing the sun today, but the wind is strong from the south, so it doesn't feel like the 50+ degrees. Hope you can get your outdoor work done without too much chill!
