Hi, my name's Valerie and I've been quilting for a year. My grandmother and great grandmother like to quilt and sew, mostly by hand, so I grew up knowing the basics like sewing on a button, repairing a hem, etc.
Last year I got a crazy idea of getting a sewing machine, I bought a cheap one because I didn't want to see the "I told you so" look from hubby if I didn't like it, lol.
I've now graduated to a singer confidence quilter, I know it's still a pretty low end machine but it works great for me and I love it.
Here is a sample of the quilt's I've made in the last year or so:
My first quilting project was a tree skirt
