I just found it actually...
Grandmother, "stuck in my 60s", been quilting off and on since around 1975.
Have lots of tops to quilt, but having more fun now because I love all the fantastic fabrics - I have a HUGE stash! :mrgreen: Right now I'm having a lot of fun making 'traditional' quilts with some very UNtraditional fabrics...
We retired to SW Alabama (we LOVE it here) and I have a totally messy quilting/sewing room with a homemade work table 54x85x36" high for cutting, sewing, laying out tops etc etc...
I recently started learning stippling/meandering - a learn as you go type thing.. someday I might actually know how to do it...
:roll:
I also just found a quild in the area and have gone to meetings for two months - so far it has been a very pleasant experience.
I have embroidery machines but my favorites for piecing/stippling are my two 301's.

Thanks for the welcome and....
http://usera.imagecave.com/Mavican/quilts/[/url]
There's some of my quilts - Imagecave is apparently sick this morning because I can't log on to add this last quilt - a Mardi Gras one I call "Carnival in the Park" - just finished it last night.
Some of the pictures aren't very good - they are digital copies of old polaroid photos that weren't that good in the first place.
I'd like to think I've improved over the years - some of those are still sitting in there in 'storage' not quilted ahem..... :roll:
But just by looking you should be able to tell the newer ones with the great fabrics!
