Hello, I have been quilting since October of last year. My 46 year old cousin passed away on Xmas Eve from a year long battle of lung cancer. We spent the last 3 months of her life having her teach me how to quilt. I then was diagnosed with a nerve disease and the quilting has become my much needed therapy. I hand sew all my quilt tops and I quilt every single day and don't know what my life would be without it!!! I am happy to be here and happy to have a great site to see so many great projects and get some great advice. Happy Quilting!!

Welcome from Oregon City, OR! Your handstitching is beautiful!

My best friend in Hawaii just sent me a Haw'n pattern that requires handstitching...you've motivated me!
