Hello there ... it is nice to meet fine people on here, quilters are special.. even if you are brand new, and just learning to thread a needle. I am Sharon and I live in Arkansas.. been quilting...off and on for 25 years. I have lots of ideas about quilting, and well I have learned most of my 'skill' from hit and miss technique. I am one who enjoys sitting in the evening, ... out in the mountains, in the cabin we built... wood in the heater, and sew... and well, it is a comforting relaxing craft. I just tend to get into another world, of peace and quiet....regain reality, take time to hear myself think...and reconnect with myself. When I sit to quilt, my husband will say...."don't you ever stop working::" I just can't convince him, that quilting is not work, but more of a therapy..
It is a work of Love.... that is for sure. I always embrodiery a small Heart on the back of the quilt.. that shows it was made with love.... and sign my name...on the quilt..embrodiery...and year it was finished..afterall, it is something for future generations to enjoy.. they need to know who made the quilt..
Enjoy...Sharon
