This is an interesting website with folks from all over... how neat! I live in Michigan, work in Indiana, and have vacation homes (which I rent out) in North Carolina and Florida.

Quilting is not something I do very often...since working is a necessity and quilting is a de-stresser and fun. There is never enough time for me to quilt.

I am working on several projects... one has taken a full year as it is a king pinwheel all hand needle turned applique. I have 1 1/2 borders yet to complete... each border takes about one month IF I spend at least 7-8 hours each week on it. While I love what I am creating... I am looking forward to getting it out of my hands and ON my bed... and starting something totally new and different.

Turtles is a tribute to Anna Maria Island Sea Turtles as the island is a refuge and sea turtles are protected. (Florida)

Thanks... it's been a long time since I was in Colorado. I think you are having the same weather I am having... SNOW and COLD.

Both the photos were made from patterns...though I NEVER leave a pattern alone and always make changes. More often I start with a pattern for the IDEA and then create something from there.
