Hello!

Hello! On one of my frequent explorations for quilting inspiration I happened upon this board. I am in my twenties and live in the Quad Cities with my husband, two cats, and dog. All are fans of my quilts and fancy themselves experts!! I have been quilting for almost a year and am always anxious to learn something new. My recent ventures include collecting info to teach myself applique and paper piecing (now that I am FINALLY finishing my Christmas wish/demand list from the fam-I know it's January :( ). I am most distracted from my quilting by my knitting! Always in the midst of some kind of crafting distraction as my husband will confirm. :P I look forward to learning some things and maybe far in the furture passing something on.

Your quilts are very pretty! Do you hand applique or machine applique?
I do both. I love needle turn applique but I have arthritis in different parts of my body and my hands have it so I can't do needle turn that much any more. I am working on a large wall hanging now that I has a tree that I made up. It sort of looks like a banana-palm tree. I haven't made up my mine yet which it is going to be. And I will put it over the door if we get any cold weather.

By quad cities do you happen to mean: Moline, Rock Island, Bettendorf and Davenport??? I would really love to know. While I am now in Oklahoma via Nebraska I am originally from North Central Illinois with tons of family in that area.

Melissa--Those are the very Quad Cities! My husband is originally from this area, but I'm originally from the Amana Colony (Iowa) area. Quess that background keeps my quilts relatively traditional. :)
