Hi! I've been browsing your wonderful message board for the past few days, so I thought I may as well register and benefit even more from you talented people!
I've been sewing for years, also do cross-stitch and embroidery among other things. My "main" craft would be scrapbooking, but quilting runs a close second. Or sometimes first, its according what month it is, LOL.
I've only made a few quilts in my life, and NEVER a "full size" one. The biggest I've made is a twin size, machine top, hand quilted. I've done several baby quilts, and some throws.
I haven't worked on any in a while, and for some reason, I'm just getting back into it. It seems to come in "waves" for me.
Also, I'm laid up right now, I just got back from Myrtle Beach and broke my toe and ripped off my entire big toenail while there, so I thought I would work on some quilting while I'm grounded.
I've got a plan in mind for a quilt, that I guess you would call an "art" quilt. Now, I believe all quilts are works of art, but in this context I mean I am wanting to make a wall hanging for my husband of a motorcyle theme.
I am going to post it on the main board in a little while to get some ideass.
I use my Cricut Expression in my quiliting, I was just wondering if anyone else on here has one/uses one? For those who don't know, it's a machine made for crafts and cuts images from paper, fabric, stencil material, etc. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I also have a software program for it, that when hooked to the Cricut, I can cut ANY image I can get on my computer. ANY image, I once cut my nephew's face from fabric for my aunt to quilt. She hasnt' finished it yet, I can't wait to see when she's done. If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one.
Shew, sorry I wrote a book! LOl! Everyone always tells me I talk too much, so I'll be quiet now......LOL!
