Howdy from Kansas!
I'm Angie, here in SE Kansas. I'm new to quilting but not to sewing. I've been making clothing for years, and am now using up all those scraps into strings and hexies. I use a Singer Scholastic 717 and a Brother XL2600i for my work. And hand needles.
Nice to "meet" you all!

Thanks ya'll!
Love the hand quilting too...my very first quilt is a hexie that's handstitched and quilt as you go. It's 9 months and counting, 3/4 inch hexies, made from mine, my late mom's, and stepdaughter's clothing, including the backing fabric for it. My machine project is a string quilt made in pinks made from scraps, some of my old clothes, and some my SD has grown out of, and am about 1/2 done with twin size top, just ordered an open toe darning foot to work with to do free motion on it.
If I had a chance to make all the quilts I want--I will never die.
