Hi Wendy!
Thanks for the warm welcome. As I look at your picture I think to myself, I need to go out on a limb and piece something with more diamonds. I'm a bigger chicken that the one pictured with Bombay.
I hadn't quilted for a very long time. I started with hand quilting, then at a young age developed arthritis. And we all know that we have so much time to tackle the quilting by ourselves. At that time I wasn't impressed with machine quilting, and I really was of the opinion that it was cheating the art.
A really neat older woman at one of our local fabric shops convinced me differenty, and after spending some $ on better machines, I'm ok with it now. Good thing.... let the quilting begin.
Now where do I find this guild card"? What a hoot.
Scott
