The world of quilting is so huge. The minute you think you really know alot a new method or technique comes along that sends you right back to your machine to try that, too. Love it...always a challenge.

I still find much enjoyment and comfort in the traditional quilt designs, though, when I do piece something. I have a Brother QC1000 which I love.

I love your avatar picture!! It's Beautiful! I have a UFO art picture almost done but haven't touched it in a while. A Susan Carlton book helped me with mine. It is done in raw applique. Designed to go into a picture frame! I recently purchased the Civil War Bride pattern. My passion is applique. We just moved to the east coast from San Antonio!

Thanks. Susan Carlson was at Quilting Adventures the week before I went this year and my friend was in her class. She produced a wonderful portrait of her dog. Too bad you're not close to SA anymore. Quilting Adventures is held just west of New Braunfels.

We retired here. Not much for quilting here :0(. Quilt shops are scarce, not even a Joann's or Hobby Lobby :0(. It is still my joy though. Order a lot off the Internet.
