Hi - My name is Jil and I live near chicago - I have lots of quilt tops and am so intimidated by the quilting itself. But NOW I AM DOING IT!!! I am NOT having fun, though, because I find it so tedious. I love the quilting fabrics, battings, threads, embellishments, books, web sites. I love piecing - the designing, the colors, the overall look. And I can't stand the quilting. I want this to stop. So, I am currently completing a quilt for a dear friend of mine and I am persevering. But I hope to make it a more fun part of the process. :roll:
