I'm a quilter although lately I've been sucked up by knitting, crocheting, and tatting. I like to spin, and I also adore origami. I'm a little overboard on decorative geometry. :-)

I need to get back to quilting actually; I've got a finished top that's needed to get basted for ages. It's for a friend's wedding, and they've been married for *mumbledy* years now. *sigh*

Bird...don't know why I thought you had moved. It's just too darned bad we don't live closer together, we could quilt while watching the neighbors. lol

I have just recently got into sewing...........

By nature I am an outdoors girl...hunting and fishing and farmin....well thanks to this ole disease I have been trapped indoors much to much. So Thanks to the love of a dear friend whom gave me a sewing machine around Christmas time and the guiding hand of my grand mother, the love of quilts and crafts passed down from from generations gone by....I am now a sewing person.

I have recently made my first piece work wall hanging. I have it all sewn together and am ready to quilt it. It will be a wall hanging with the picture pockets on it....dont know if ya'll have seen them or not but they are way cool. I dont have a pattern just a picture of one so I am going all on my own with no prior experience ............lol this should be a true test of my abilitites.........I HAVE LOVED IT SO FAR........If it turns out well (making it as a gift) I have another friend I need to make one for whom is moving into her own place...then on to bigger things.......
I am happy to know I am amung great company in enjoying this dying art.........

(if I need advice and help good to know where to turn lol....)

I loved seeing the other wall hanging.....When I can give this gift to the new owner I will post a pic of it here....but in the meantime would LOVE to see other masterpeices......

Guys, I forget to check this forum....

Momma, I sent you an email/PM...about something else!

There are so many ways you can learn to quilt...there are books, and DVD's...shoot I bet there is somewhere on the internet! And quilt shops and fabric stores have lessons! Go to a senior citizen center and have a little lady show you!

I have been handquilting more lately and it really does make me feel good!

And I've been working on two quilted stockings, which honest to goodness I should have completed by now, but my interest wanes faster now adays! Like a ADD kid sometimes!!!
