Hi Everyone,
First let me say thank you very much for the warm welcome to the group. Everyone here is so wonderfully nice and helpful.
I'm really new to quilting. I used to sew clothes for the grand kids and when they got older they weren't into home made clothing. I also used to sew household things like drapes. I stopped sewing about 10 years ago, but I missed it and I've always had a desire to make quilts so when a friend of mine told me about 'rag quilts' I thought perfect that way I get my skills back up and learn some of the cutting techniques, etc.
The first real quilted item I made was a bargello quilt for my dining table. And I must say I was really pleased with it. Every block lined up great. I have sense made a table topper for a friend. Just finished a 59" laptop quilt and have another quilt top ready to go.
I was using my 25 year old Kenmore and just couldn't get the quilt quilted with it. I did a lot research on machines and purchased a pfaff quilt expression 4.0. I love it, it so great. I never knew machines could so much, lol.
I also do a lot cross stitching and machine embroidery.
I shall get my profile filled out shortly, and get some pictures of my quilts.
I am married, 64 years old and live in Florida.
Well I guess I rattled on enough.
A warm welcome to other new quilters and new board members.
Again thank you and God bless
Pam
