03-11-2025Good Afternoon!
I'm Barb from Alabama and new to this quilting board. I'm a member of the Missouri Star Quilt Co. forum as well. I don't post much, but I do come looking for answers to questions I may have. I am excited to have found this resource today!
I am a retired elementary teacher (going on my 2nd year now) and rediscovering my love for quilting. I don't particularly like large quilts, but I love doing wall hangings, table toppers and baby quilt size things. I am currently working on some old Block of the Months I have from 1997!
I had always machine-pieced and hand quilted, but am learning to machine quilt now. I don't seem to have the patience for hand quilting anymore, plus my eyes just "ain't what they used to be"! I am also experimenting with FMQ, and have enjoyed the little bit I've done there.
Since my creations are for family members, they aren't too critical of my lack of skills!
I look forward to reading posts on this board and learning more as time goes on!
