1. Anne from Massachusetts
2. Mostly learned on my own and from books.
3.It's traditional and I love color. Plus it's nice to make for family.
4.No. I am no teacher. I still feel like a novice
5.I'm sure there are differences. Updating equipment etc. I stay pretty much with the old fashioned, except for rotary cutters. I love them.
6.I am in one little group in my church.
7. Not a part of my own heritage. Mother did not make many quilts.
8.I like creating something original. It is a mostly female expression.
9.All kinds. Wall hangings, traditional blocks. Large, small.....I could go on.
10.I make them for hubby, sis, friends
11.Mistakes cause naughty language. AND reaching for the seam ripper.
12.Soft and comfy. And washable.
13.Homemade is more valuable emotionally.
14.Not sure how to answer this one.
15.I do not know much of the history, but I am very glad it exists.
16.It is a lovely form of self expression. If I were to speak to a non-quilter about quilting, I would probably say, "take great care of any quilts you may aquire. Fabric does not last forever."
17. Both. In a group on Tues. and the rest at home.
18.No one else in my family quilts except for sister.
19.I remember one lap sized quilt when I was a child. It was used so much it wore out. Wish I still had it.
20.One thing about my quilting. It is well documented. I put a good deal of information on the labels and also have many pages in the computer telling of how or why I started a particular quilt and whom I made it for. Also little details about one or more of the fabrics I used.
Thanks. Hope this helps your survey.
