Loved reading everyones posts!
Honestly, I call myself a quilter. Creating quilts is just so fun, even when they are uncooperative. I really enjoy trying new techniques, so am always exploring.

I do it all, but call myself a long arm quilter. But....I also hand quilt (when pushed) sew a little (again, when pushed) to
fix someone's problems, tailor a little here and there, and will re-do wedding gowns if I HAVE to. If you want to upset me, ask me to alter something (or sew a button on!!!) when I am fixated on quilting....I can guarantee you won't like what you see...
...I think that everyone in my family actually believes there is a seamstress somewhere inside my now aging body...but there is NOT...nor will there ever be...! I also play the keyboard, the organ, the guitar, the clarinet, the bass clarinet, the oboe; I paint in acrylics and in oils; I knit and crochet. (Can you tell I don't have a REAL job anymore??) however, no one has ever asked me to lead (or play in) the Philharmonic orchestra nor have they ever asked me to have a one-woman show at any art gallery. So I guess, in the end, I am a LA'r by vocation and by avocation!

I am a quilter. The Senior Quilting Club that I belong refer to ourselves as "sewers". I guess that makes me a quilter AND a sewer. lol. I don't care, as long as I get to sew. I like to hand quilt, and I like to piece tops.
