OK, Let's see how I do this! Found you guys last March while trying to teach myself a little quilting. Now ready to chat it up with some quilters.
I'm Bonnie from outside of Atlanta. Hubs bought me 2 machines over a year ago as a major milestone birthday gift. I kept saying one day I'd try to quilt, guess he was tired of seeing me fondle fabric for no reason.
I grew up on a farm in KY where Mother taught me embroidery and tacking. Fast forward a few decades..Mom has dementia and has moved here with us. She is unable to recall anything to do with quilting today so more the reason for me to learn this, to honor both her and the art itself.
Would love to dip my toe in a easy swap or get involved in a group. I've much to learn and much practice to do. Two of my three "pieced projects" are in my album. Already incoming UFO's wouldn't you know! I'm just now playing with applique, would like to learn hand applique to use as a stress relief. Chat soon I hope.
