Default Almost None

I have been quilting about 15 years now, almost entirely self-taught from books. My first real quilt was a king-size that I made in 3 sections and joined together after quilting. It was too heavy for me to sleep under, and it was given away. The next two were lap quilts for quiet winter evenings, and we are still using the original two. I then made a complicated mariner's compass king-size duvet. It lives in the closet except for winter-time company (still can't sleep under any weight). I have made gift lap-size quilts and lots of placemats, table runners and casserole carriers, but virtually nothing makes it into my own closets. I finally joined a quilting chapter, and thank heavens for charity quilts -- finally I "have permission" to buy and make!
