    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.

    Welcome from Michigan lover

    Hello my name is Debra and I am from Howard city Michigan I came to California when I was 6 years old and moved back and forth until the age of 16 and never went back I really miss being in Michigan it is so pretty there year around the snow the spring and summer autum the color of the leaves and going and picking cherries and apples in the orchards really nice walking in the woods picking wild strawberries and wild berries.
    and going back home with stained fingers from picking and eating the berries I miss Michigan a lot
