    I have been quilting for 25 years. I used to be an avid cross stitcher but I have a quilter friend who finally converted me and I have been addicted ever since. Quilting has introduced me to wonderful people and I have made lifelong friends through our common passion. I am currently the BOM chairman for my quilt guild. Lately, I have been making bags for my friends and grandchildren.

    Thank you. A friends husband died last year and she asked me to make a tie quilt. She only had 9 ties which would not make much of a quilt. She has 2 grown daughters so I made 3 separate panels one for each of them. I used the short end of the tie and used his tie clips of which there were also 9. They loved it. It was a big responsibility and it took me 3 months to decide on a pattern. I was really nervous when I cut the ties apart. The shirt part of the tie is in EQ6.
