Today when I was driving into our condos I noticed a lady sitting on the garage floor and it looked like she was pinning something. I went home, dropped off my new fabric and walked over and yes she is a quilter. She took me in and showed me some of her quilts. OMG they were beautiful. She is light years ahead of me. I'm so excited to have someone to share my quilting with and someone to help me with more challenging projects.

How wonderful for you!! I am jealous. (but in a good way!)
|
She has 2 pieces of plywood down that she cleans after each quilt she works on. She has a 2 car garage and she can leave it set up all the time. I have a 1 car garage and would have to pick it up after each use. I am looking forward to having a neighbor that has a love of quilting.
|
hey, maybe she'll join and show "us" her quilts :thumbup: :!:
woo hoo! thanks for friending up with your new neighbor, tolepainter! ;) |
As soon as I read your post I too was thinking "gotta have a CLEAN garage floor" followed by "must be a NICE neighborhood" ... and then I had to check and sure enough, you're not in the frozen north. Ummm... those of us in snowy areas would have wet garage floors or icy ones, for quite a few months! ;)
|
Thinking the same way, bring her on board! Cool that the two of you met. Having another creative mind is inspiring.
|
Wow wish I could find someone in the neighbor hood like that too!

Oh you are so lucky. I hope this is the beginning of a long and wonderful quilting relationship.
|
Yes, I do to. She seems to be pretty laid back. Just in the little while we spent together, she told me a story about a couple of her quilts. One quilt was made with fabric from Guatemala. She said on the bus trip, people were buying pieces of fabric for her and she made a quilt with it. The next project she is planning on is a french braid. I'm glad I walked over yesterday to see what she was working on.
|
Just had to send a quick note when I saw your signature. I'm a sewer/quilter and my mother is a tole painter. We just completed the enclosure of a 3 car carport into our 'great room' for painting and sewing. Nice to hear you have both talents!
|
That is so wonderful :thumbup:
|
How fortunate for you. I hope the same will happen for me.
|
Have you thought about having her join our group? It is always great to have experienced quilters. Great find for you.
|
How fun! I have a friend and several acquaintances who quilt. For a beginner it is very encouraging. Hope it works out for both of you.
|
That would be so nice. God bless.
|
:thumbup: That's exciting!
|
That is awesome to find someone so close and that does beautiful quilts,consider yourself blessed.
