I am a 29+ mother of 11 that put away quilting for several years but attended the Quilt Show in Des Moines, Iowa last fall and decided it was time to get back to work creating things I love. My family has been very supportive in helping to carve out a little space for me (the laundry room), I don't know where the laundry went.... but I have expanded and it has been wonderful. I am looking for a group of women to connect with to share ideas and am excited about the opportunity to share with you all. I am wondering about the hand quilting tool, "Aunt Becky." I just ordered one and am wondering if any one has used it before and what there experience has been.

Welcome from S. Ok., soon to be an Iowan, near Littlehud, south of Council Bluffs. This board is great.

LJBallard 09-19-2010 01:54 PM

thanks. I watched that video, which is what turned me on to the idea. Hoping to get it soon and get to work on learning how to quilt quickly.

One of the benefits of having it in the laundry room, it is right off of the kitchen and so I sneak time in there. Working on a beautiful cobalt blue quilt for a friend who collects the blue glass. It is one of those simple border quilts, has been fun to make.
