I am a painter who attended a workshop in 2001 to do a project that involved painting on fabric. The second part of the workshop was to sew on borders, quilt the design and add embellishments to make a wall hanging.
Loved doing it so much I went straight into making a full size sampler quilt all hand pieced and hand quilted. Have since completed 15 projects, mainly by machine and have 2 currently in progress and another in the planning stage.
Do more quilting than painting these days.
