I totally agree with you......I have RA{rhumatoid arthritis} but that does not keep me from sewing.......I live in your "neck of the woods", & this weather here is great to keep one moving year around................I had a relative who spent many hrs. away from home on his job, did beautiful embroidery when home, I loved his work. Keep quilting, keep your soul smiling , best medicine for a great life.

If I spend the same ammount of time on this, as I did with him I will at least have something to show for it (quilt, wall hanging, and so on). So I am open to any suggestions. I will appologize now for my bad typing and spelling, after all I'm a man remember. RRR (as the toolman would say)

Welcome from Texas. GS and Spiderman, it seems to be a theme with no borders. I purchased a whole cloth, 30" x 40" of Spiderman. I dropped my feed dogs, which I don't do for just anyone, and went about outlining and freehanding spiderwebs. How hard could it be? Halfway through, I called my friend, laughing so hard, that I was crying. I told her that I had tortured spiderman and then I went back and killed him. Spiderwebs are not as easy as they look, You have done a wonderful job on yours. I have been quilting for years, but I wanted to tell my GS not to show his quilt to anyone. He thought it was the best quilt ever, but He was 4 yrs old.
Happy Quilting,
Helen

Welcome.
COOL, GUYS DO FANTASTIC QUILTS TOO. i HAD A STOKE AND THE THERAPISTS DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD SO i STARTED TO QUILT AGAIN AND IT HAS HELPED MORE THAN THERAPY. MAY I SUGGEST STARTING OUT SMALL TO LEARN SINCE YOU ARE JUST BEGINNING. LIKE A TABLERUNNER WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO START WITH . i KNOW WHEN YOUR HANDS DON'T DO AS YOU WANT IT CAN GET FRUSTRATING JUST HANG IN THERE THOUGH THE END RESULT FEELS GREAT. GOOD LUCK HOPE TO SEE YOUR WORK SOON.
