Introducing Myself
Hi Everyone. I've been lurking on this site for a long time, and finally decided it's time to join you! I made the Dresden Plate variation that George from Cross Country Quilting posted last week. In fact, this is the site where I saw his beautiful work and decided to give him a try. Doesn't he do wonders with his long arm machine! This post is mixed with much sadness for me. The dresden plates were given to me by a friend, waiting until I found just the right inspiration to mount them and put them together. The quilt is due to arrive back at my home today from George, and in this morning's paper I saw the death of the lady who made the plates. She had a massive stroke on Saturday, so this will be a Memorial Quilt in her memory.
She was only 73 and had made and long-armed hundreds of quilts.
