Howdy from NE Oklahoma, America's crossroad - old Route 66! Native Texan by the grace of God but have lived in Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, lovely Alabama & the Amish district in western Pennsylvania & had fun everywhere we went. I began sewing at 33 when our son was born & got sticker shock from the nursery linen costs & mom gave me an old machine, been sewing since. Started quilting in Nov 2011 when I received a charm pack gift, now I'm hooked. After completing a "Learning Quilt", 5" squares with sashing & hand quilting it, I began to quilt specifically for the house. Then our Bible Study teacher wanted a quilt, so there was no turning back! Finished my first pieced sampler but need to improve a lot! A friend wants me to learn applique which scares me so I took a class Easter week & look forward to "curves" (but please pray for me - I detest wasting fabric). Math teacher & a "linear" person here.
I joined QB a few months ago & cannot express well enough how much I've learned from the wonderful QB folks. Their ideas & finished quilts inspire me, surely at least 20 of them know how to fix my mistakes!
My current projects: yo-yo twin, 2 PSQs king & queen, Jenny Beyer's Moon Glow Cal King, and about 6 others as well as collecting silk for an international friendship twin quilt sometime soon I hope.
