Cassuviel says hello
 

Hello to all of you!

I am Cassuviel from the SW of Germany, 61 years old and an absolute quilting noob.

Three years ago I startet to do some patchwork, bought some books and some jelly rolls, and my wonderful husband bought me a wonderful sewing machine. I startet with some easy blocks and made two bigger tops that still are not quiltet.

I became very ill and couln't sew or do anything like that until this summer. Now I am well again and will start a new attempt on patchwork and quilting. I made some strippy potholders to become friend with the sewing machine again, and it felt good!

Apart from quilting I like knitting and cross stich embroidering, I love music and literature, and good movies. We have two dogs and a very big garden so there's no time for being idle.

Please feel free to ask me whatever you would like to know. I am not accustumed to forums and things alike. And at this very moment I find it difficult to express myself in English, although I love that language so much. I surely have to practise.

Hoping that I might ask you for advice or help from time to time, I send my kindest regards.

I visited 10 years ago.... my ancestors came from Germany to the US in the 1600's and I still like to boast of my German beginnings.

I thank you very much for your friendly welcome. You are very kind, indeed. I'm glad to be here.

I had to search for Claudia Pfeil, never heard her name before. Unfortunately, her studio is about a 5 hours drive from where I live. I would like to take a class somewhere. But there are just very few quilters around my place.

Last month my husband and I have been to France. In a very little village, Sainte-Marie-aux-mines was a quilt exhibition over 4 days, and there were classes, too. But I couldn't find the courage to book one, because they were given by real masters of the art. And I am just a beginner. I thought I shouldn't take a place an advanced quilter would benefit much more from. But we enjoyed the beautiful quilts. Some of them were more than hundred years old. That little village is the place where the Amish come from, I learned. If there still are Amish people in France I cannot tell. But that village celebrates quilting every year, and it is not more than 3 hours by car away. Of course I brought some cute fabrics home...

Next week there is a fabric market in a town nearby. They come twice a year from the Netherlands. I'm looking forward to get some beautiful batics there. And perhaps some other fabrics aswell, depending on how much pocket money I'll get. Usually, I buy all my stuff online, but I like to go to the market.

Enough for the moment, I have to prepare our meal and take the dogs for a walk, now.

Again, I'm glad to have found you!
