Hi, just found this site and love it! I just finished reading "Circle of Quilters", by Jennifer Hiaverni, which inspired me to get busy! And to find more of her books!
I'm a long time, on again, off again sewer, have done four 'couch size' quilts, a few doll size ones for my granddaughters, as so far I'm too impatient to do a larger one. I have four adult children, remarried almost four years ago to a man who has two. Between us we have eight grandchildren. :D One of my dreams is to make each a quilt. I've done small comforter type quilts for each of the grandkids, but someday want to do a 'keepsake' type for each. I've looked through your BOM posts, and understand they could be made into a full size quilt when 12 are done? Sounds much more do-able to me! All the postive feedback each of you gives is very welcoming too! Happy Quilting! Diana :) |
Welcome, Diana, from St. Louis! This is a great site to get motivated! Take a look at all the pictures posted in that thread and you can see what all these people have been busy with! I haven't done the BOMs yet, but have finished full size quilts, and so can you! :lol:
You will get lots of encouragement, especially if you can show pictures!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Hello and welcome from Canada :)

Welcome from Michigan as well.... I think spring may be on hold from the amount of snow we have gotten in the last 24 hours (: I am just like you I dream of actually doing a full sized quilt. My daughters are 17 (18 in 3 weeks , I keep getting told) and 22. My 22 year old is married. I want to do "keepsakes" as well.
Good Luck and have fun here- Michelle |
Welcome from NE CA. Glad you joined us. As far as 12 being the magic number for a quilt, I would say it would depend on the size of the block first, among other things. But if I can do it, you can, believe me. Lots of talented people on board that will help in any way they can. Go for it!!
