Hi, my name is Janet Ferguson, I live in Shiner Texas. I have been quilting for maybe 8 years now but really into it the last 3. I love desinging and have 2 quilts that I have designed. Have the first one self published now and hope to get it into some stores. Looking for pointers there if anyone has done that. I work part time in a quilting store and full time at home with a husband recouperating from 3 hip surgeries in the last year. I have one son and daughter in law and 3 beautiful grandchildren that live with us. My son is in process of building me a quilting room in our back yard here. ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET! I love reds, and bold colors and florals. I have a stash that is all over the house until my room is finished. I have a longarm that I found on Craigslist and have started doing my own quilting which is a learning process of its own but I am getting there. Thanks for listening! Looking forward to new friends here!

I am in the center, this was after a very long day at our quilt show in March. My Challenge block got 2nd place. I need a better picture...lol

Welcome from Central TX, Smithville. My son-in-law could keep Shiner on the map since Bock is his favorite beverage!
