Hi Everyone,
I'm a horrible "lurker" -- I prowl around reading these beautiful quilting blogs that folks have, never saying a word. Then I found this place and spent nearly all day this past Sunday enjoying the pictures of everyone's BOM squares. So very, very lovely!
Well, I decided to come out of "lurk" mode and actually SAY something -- and I figured you folks were the ones I wanted to talk to...
I've been quilting for about 8 years, all baby quilts or wall hangings. My most recent (big) project was a quilt for my oldest grandson. It has 120 different "I spy" blocks in the center, surrounded by 7 rows of star points. His name is (paper-pieced) across the top (alphabet from Paper Panache), with the complete alphabet down the sides, and 1-10 across the bottom. It took me about 6 months to get it all done.
The most recent "small" thing I've finished is a wall quilt for my dining room. I decided to make the flowers 3-dimensional, so they're made with that super-stiff interfacing you use for bowls, with a button in the center. They're attached with large snaps, so I can wash it if I need to. I'm pretty pleased with it.
I've got at least six other projects at some stage of completion; I think I must have "quilter's short attention span" or something!
Anyway, thanks for being here. I'm looking forward to "meeting" you! :D

Just on a whim, I decided to make the flowers 3-D instead of applique. Kinda fun!
