I am new to this board. I am in Utah, just southwest of Salt Lake City. I have played around with quilting most of my life, mostly making one piece tied quilts.
I now want to learn to do pieced quilts. I have done a couple but would like to learn some new techniques.
I hope to get to know many of you!

What part of Washington State are you from?
I grew up in Washington State, on a farm on the banks of the Yakima River, about twenty miles before it flowed into the Columbia River. The town was Benton City.

Welcome from Washington!! I'm from central Washington--White Salmon. I am wondering about your jeans quilt. I made one a few years ago which is so heavy my grandson can't really lift it easily. I am wondering what kind of batting you used and what backing????

That's cute! My brothers and sisters called me Retta, but my nieces and nephews all seem able to say Loretta. I am wondering what my Grandkids will call me. They are not talking much yet.

It is a little heavy. I used--- I can't remember what I used for the backing seems like flannel but ... I will have to ask my sister, she has it. I do remember that we stitched it with what we call a crow's foot, instead of tieing. I just used a polyester batting.

Welcome from Tennessee,

KennedyClan 08-10-2010 03:15 AM

Thanks, Retta. I've found some lightweight denim, so I think I'm going to use that as well. Thanks for the advice.
I see you're from Utah. Our granddaughter lives in Lehi, so we come to Utah occasionally. We're LDS and BYU graduates, so we like to "find our roots." I've never done any shopping for fabric, etc. there for quilts because Lehi is a stopover to touch base with our granddaughter and then head on to Arizona and California to meet other family members. Ah well...someday. Thanks again.
