At different times in the past, I was a seamstress, a crocheter, an embroiderer, a cross-stitcher, a macrame-er, a wannabe tatter, even a Tri-Chem painter (ugh, what was I thinking?) But I gave all those titles up when I discovered what I really am.
I am a quilter. My favorite techniques are needle-turn applique and hand quilting, but since I've been working at a LQS (the last 5 years), time is limited, so I do more machine work.
