I post my pics and have been sewing quilt tops for less than a year. Yours are as beautiful as any of the others that are posted! We want to see all of them, beginners to professionals. Please show us your quilts, it's not too difficult to post them it just takes a little patience to get the size correct. :-)

I thought the purpose of this board was to commisserate with fellow quilters, and spur each other on to do bigger and better things. Hopefully we are all here to show our successes AND our failures. That is how we learn. I am in quilting for the love of creating with fabric. I don't care how perfect my points are, or if a block is perfectly square. I am thrilled if I reach those levels in a quilt, but it is not all that important if I don't. Most of my quilts go to charity or fundraisers, or family.

Don't shy away from posting your pics here. If you go to an art gallery, you will see that many of those artists are not our taste. They are artists, and do it for the love of the creation of art.

Please play around with the posting of pics. Once I got the resizing figured out, it was easy.

I doubt that anyone on this board considers themselves a professional. I have been making quilts for 40 years and you would have to roll your eyes at even some of my latest creations. The thing I am good at is handquilting and getting projects finished. I would not begin to enter anything I pieced in any show. I do handquilting for other people but I wouldn't dream of making them a quilt from scratch unless it was a wholecloth one.

Oh I hope you will post your quilt pictures. Please do not feel intimidated by the photos. In over 45 years I have never met a quilt I didn't like. AND I have seen some that were really not that attractive, however there is always something positive to be said for any quilt. Even if its "do not do this again" Ha. Seriously I don't care if a quilt is tied, or quilted to an inch of its life. There is always something to enjoy about a quilt. Hang in there and please do share your work.

KSue, this board is for everyone who enjoys our beautiful craft, no matter what our level of talent is. I've been quilting on and off for over 25 years, but I do not consider myself 'accomplished'. Do not hesitate to post any of your work - we are all one, big happy quilting family - no one is 'above or below' anyone else here. I have never felt more welcome and accepted as much as I do here, and believe me, not a single one of my pieces is without fault!!

My quits are just so so. I don't have any desire to do all of the long arm stuff, or the intense quilting. I finish by stitch in the ditch and the lines can be wobbly, but, hey, it's my work. Folks who get my quilts act like they enjoy getting them. That's all that matters to me! Yes, I try my best to make attractive quits, but I only measure them against other work I have done.

KSue, I to have problems posting but don't give up. My quilts aren't near perfect, they are the best I can do, neither can I afford the
send out to LAQ to many $$$"S. I have been teaching my self to FHQ on my Singer L500, not always pretty but it's getting better the kids and grand kids like them anyway cause granny or mom made it. Keep practing..

I am certainly not a professional quilter but I enjoy putting pieces of fabric together. As to posting pictures, I find that a photo program is very helpful in resizing .... mine is "Paint" and was part of my Microsoft products. There are others that do just as well. We're all on a learning curve .... and it is a long curve!

Yes the work shown by the quilters is gorgeous, but I love the picts and the board in general. As a newbie I have learned so much here and receive inspiration. Keep on trying and do post your picts we all love to see them.
