Hello from the Seattle area. Glad to have you aboard.
I'm finishing up my coffee and quilting board time and about to work on some quilting projects. Today/this week is about the quilting down, not my favorite part of the process -- I love the design and planning and quilting part. I have vision issues and often sew through parchment paper for my quilting designs, today's task is drawing the designs out. Yuck. But it gives me the results I want so as Yoda would say, do it I must. The project after that will just be a basic grid using the serpentine stitch, nothing fancy but it will be my first time doing that technique.
