Hi everyone, my name is Judy and just found out about this group this afternoon. i am an avid quilter. Been quilting about 20 years, started out by hand and continued doing that until about 3 years ago. Now mostly piecing by machine. I use a handcrank or treadle for piecing. haven't mastered quilting by treadle as yet but maybe someday. Even though I've been quilting for several years I still consider myself a beginner and am self taught. I am a widow with a 19 year old son still at home. Thanks for listening. JUDY in Woodville, AL
