Hello Redford, Michigan,
I just joined this site and noticed that you are from Redford. I was born in Highland Park and my parents brought my twin and I home to Redford. I have not been back since I was 8 years old. We live in Southern California now.
This quilt site has so much on it it would probably take a day to see it all. I love it. I have only been quilting for about two years now and have learned a lot but have so much more to learn. Most of my learning has come from watching Quilters TV.
It would be great to hear from you.

Hello Karen65!

I thought you might like to know how I came to live in Redford.

The wonderful thing is that I had some dear friends who lived in Redford. I lost touch with them about 20+ years ago. I divorced my husband of 26 years back in 2005 then moved into an apartment. One year later I found a cute little house online on a realty site. The street name sounded familiar, but I wasn't sure why. The day before I was to view the house I drove down the street, and suddenly I knew why the name was so familiar!! It was the street my friends had lived on!! After all the time that had passed I really thought they must have moved, but they hadn't!!!! Now I live next door to my dear, sweet friends that I first met 31 years ago! Barb and I actually worked together at Minnesota Fabrics back in 1979 and became fast friends. I am so very blessed to live next door to them!

Hello and welcome from Boston. I can't wait for you to post your pictures of the storm at sea quilt as I have one started but had a very hard time finding a pattern for it.

I actually did mine using foundation piecing. I made a Storm at Sea several years ago, and all of those bias edges drove me nuts!! This one was so-o-o-o-o much easier!!! :D

The one I made for my brother is a lap-size quilt. The top is finished. I'm in the process of marking it for quilting. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic of it this weekend. ;-)
