Hi - I'm from Columbus, Nebraska and have been quilting about 6 years. I'm recently retired and joined a quilt club so have been busy with lots of projects. We have 3 Scotty Dogs so I've been making scotty quilts for all of the grandkids. One of my grandsons wanted a Hawaiian Scotty quilt so I will send a picture of it here. I love to hand quilt but can't keep up with everything so have had some things machine quilted- which gets too expensive. I haven't had the nerve to tackle a big quilt on my sewing machine - I've only quilted smaller items. I've been enjoying this site - maybe will get involved in a block of the months or exchange blocks or something. Judy
