Well lets see. I have been quilting for about a year now. I have a cheap sewing machine that I bought at target and I love it lol. After I made a quilt for my hubby, while he was deployed, completely by hand the simple sewing machine is amazing :) I am completely internet taught. And therefore I am in need of a lot of help. :) I have made 3 rag quilts(toddler size), one strip quilt (adult size) and then one other quilt. I have one busy little boy who is quite the little helper. More than needed most days. :) I love my soldier but because of the job is gone from home more than I would like. This though leaves me with a lot of empty late nights filled with trial and error quilting. I have a lot of high hopes and am pretty much an OCD perfectionist. So most of my projects take some time because I can't just settle. If it's wrong its wrong and even though nobody else can see it, I can. And that just isn't good enough. I am excited to see what I can learn from all of you.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!
I know first hand what it is like to be home alone with hubby gone with the military. My DH did 20 years in the Navy, now my daughter's in the Army and my son's in the Navy. I got tons of cross stitching done those hundreds (thousands) of nights that he did not come home!!!
