I got one of the first embrodiery machines in the 80's and just did crafty things with it. The only quilting I have done so far is all my own designs of wall hangings for friends and relatives. They are crazy quilt designs with machine and hand embrodiery on them. I also made a scrap quilt top with blue jeans for a recycle lecture I gave at a craft camp one year in the 1980's. Now I want to make quilts for my 8 great grandchildren. I no longer have the patience to make fancy blocks, but plan to do strip quilting, log cabin (my favorite block) and scrappy quilts. I do silk embrodiery on men's jackets for friends and want to try some quilting on them.
