I'm available for adoption. I grew up watching master quilters at work (my grandmother Sadie and my mother) and was too busy with music lessons to be bothered. I pieced and hand quilted my first quilts 18 months ago. I'm pretty good with embroidery but I want to learn applique (needle turn?) (not on the machine) and then make a work of art for my bedroom. My wedding quilts were made for a double bed and we've graduated finally to a king.
