Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum, but I've been quilting for many years, and sewing ever since I can remember. I'm so glad to find a quilting cybergroup to join!! The vast majority of my projects are completely by hand, just my preference. At the moment I've just finished piecing a kaleidoscope star lap quilt and I'm getting ready to start piecing a lone star full/queen for my roommate. I'm also drawing up plans for a basting frame and a quilting frame that I hope to build next week so I can get the lap quilt ready to quilt.
