I have never shared my designs, mainly because I don't feel anyone is interested and, untill I get my new computer set-up with the digital camera, I can't show anything that I've done. But I should have my set-up by the middle of March. Believe me I'm an amateur, and nothing of real ooo, or ah ah ah . As for Cotton Theory Quilting, There is a book and there is a thread on this forum that gives somemore detail. I'd seen a demo about a yr or more ago, and I got confused on her crossroads and intersections, so I devised my own roadmap, so to speak and I'm content so thats the direction I went. As far as machine quilting, I have taken out ALOT of stitches, and I'm still far from ooo and ah ah. But it seems if I stay determined and keep praticing, I know I'll get there. But I combine machine with the hand quilting, I really like hand quilting, it just takes forever to finish a quilt that way, and I've got family and friends that like what I do and my family ask for the quilt, but my friends are more sutle and point out their B'days and Christmas. I've never taken a class. But I read alot, and I'm going to sign up for some classes at Quilt University, again waiting on my new computer set-up, and I'm in the process of moving as well. But theres several classes on that site, that I'm going to take.
