Quilting is my avocation and passion. Seems that there is always a new fabric, pattern, tool, tip or procedure around the corner and I am open to learning about them. I have been quilting for about the last 15 years and have loved sewing since junior high - who remembers home ec? C'mon raise your hands. Just love all the new colors - batiks, blenders and novelty fabrics and the more contemporary designs in quilts. Can't wait to hear what all you folks are up to.
