Hello,
I am new to this Blogging thing, but it intrigues me. I am a quilter, have been for about 30 years now. Wow! Can't believe its been that long!! Made my first quilt when I was about 20 years old in the spare room of my husband-to-be's home he lived in with his parents, on a little JCPenney sewing machine I bought for myself. I knew nothing about quilting, but I had sewn garments for myself since I was about 10 or 11 years old on my aunts sewing machine.
I don't pick anything easy for myself, never have. My first quilt was a Storm at Sea quilt. With all the bias edges and tricky points. And not knowing too much about quilting, I bought fabric that was not 100% cotton. It slipped and slid all over the place and none of my corners matched up. But I finished it AND quilted it! My family loved that quilt! It was cuddly and soft, and it had a cool feel to it, even in summer time. But eventually, it fell apart and had to be thrown away. There was just no saving it.
I have come a very long way since then. Made many, many quilts since then. I am working on a few now and I hope to start documenting some of them here. I don't know if anyone will be interested in anything I have to write about, but we will see.
Hope everyone is keeping warm under this arctic freeze the country seems to be under at the moment.
Till next time, Happy Quilting
Lisa
