I still find much enjoyment and comfort in the traditional quilt designs, though, when I do piece something. I have a Brother QC1000 which I love.
I love your avatar picture!! It's Beautiful! I have a UFO art picture almost done but haven't touched it in a while. A Susan Carlton book helped me with mine. It is done in raw applique. Designed to go into a picture frame! I recently purchased the Civil War Bride pattern. My passion is applique. We just moved to the east coast from San Antonio!
