Well my mom (who is a stalker here) convinvced me to come over and take a look. I'm new to quilting in general. Well not really new. I've made 5 complete quilts (one needs binding still) and have the tops to a few more done and a few more in the works.

I can't sew to save my life in anything else. Which is funny. I love paper piecing. Did my first traditional quilt this past year on a 1932 Domestic sewing machine (love it!!). I actually now have a sewing machine for each member of my family. And yes both my 14 year old and my 10 year old son quilt.

Can't wait to learn more. I want to learn to do Applique and the qulit as you go blocks.

Where in Michigan are you? I'm "down river". Though I'm still looking for the river 14 years later.

My mom lives in Ypsilanti (over by Ann Arbor).
