Quiltingboard Forums - Hello from Florida

My name is Becca. I have been quilting for 32 yrs. I seem to lean toward more applique in recent years than other even though I do a lot of pieced quilts also. I am also a caregiver/maid to our 15 parrots, 6 finches and 1 huge dog Shiloh who is 5 months she is great pyrenees and newfie mix hubby calls her a horse not a dog. and she is inside girl being taught that her job is to protect house with the parrots, and 2 regular size ones a chocolate lab and a newfie/shephard mix.that are grown. I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren.

I started quilting when I was pregnant with my oldest son.My mother was a quilter and I sort of picked it up from her. I was already familiar with sewing as I made my clothes all through school. so for me quilting was the next stop. If it is fabric I can do it from upholstery to men's custom made clothing. I do most handcrafts with the exdeption of needlepoint, and knitting. lol the knitting needles don't seem to like me.

so I look forward to a great bunch of ladies and learning and sharing of ideas.
