Hi everyone, I just found this place and I am sure I am going to spend a lot of time here. My name is Maria and I live in Northern New York (for now). I am a scientist at a major pharmaceutical company. My DH lost his job a few months ago at the same place and we are looking forward to move as soon as he find a new job.
I have been quilting for 7 years and have to say that my style have changed a lot in that time. I am doing now my own designs and selling quilt localy to help my family. I love quilting and spend many hours every night at the machine.
I use a very old Bernina (model 817 from 1972) that works wonderfully. My wish is to get the new 8 Series, but that will have to wait. I also own (and use) 2 Kenmore, 1 singer and have a Brother embroidery machine, which I love.
I have three kids (20 yrs girl and 2 boys, 14 and 5yrs), a dog, a cat and 15 turtles (my other passion) Some other day I will go into the details of that.
I am glad I found this place.
Maria
