There is Always enough stash to bother thinking about a raid.
I can hardly wait to see where you go next with this craft. Your sense of
colors is wonderful. Ill help J come over and we can finish your UFOs. How
does that sound?
Thanks for coming out of the shadows to help keep me amused and sane!
Diana

If i could do nothing but quilt, I'd be happy. Piecing is a real pain
for
me,
because I like to rush to get through making the top so I can quilt
it...LOL. But
i'm getting much better. I'm also learning to appreciate hand applique,
ok, and
machine applique, too. I've made it a goal to challenge myself to learn
a
couple of
new techniques every year. That goal has been put to the side for a
little while,
but next summer, I'll be ready to jump in again with both feet and quilt
my fingers
off. I love the fact that there is so much to learn, and that beautiful
things can
happen with little bits of fabric sewn with love, whether by hand or
machine.

see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne

how about you move here like i suggested n buy out the neighbours from
hell
and i'll do the piecing and you do the quilting and we'll both be happy ?

my start here was through accidently finding the needlework ng about 4
years
ago (when i was about to dump the net account through boredom) when i
searched on cross stitch. after lurking and sometimes posting there i read
some posts about the quilting ng (pre quilting days for me) and checked it
out. found this group much had a much friendlier feel and decided to hang
around and then discovered there was more to patchwork than grandmothers
flower garden and double wedding ring patterns that i'd tried and hated
about 15 years earlier and started experimenting and got thoroughly
hooked.
haven't finished a lot of quilts yet but i am getting a good stash of
ufo's
plus when i cleaned the sewing room i discovered i had more stash than i
thought (not enough for anyone to raid though so don't get any ideas). my
hand sewing (and machine sewing to a lesser extent) has improved heaps
since
starting - i mainly hand piece and quilt because i can't sit at the
machine
long enough to do much. now i just need to FINISH some quilts so i can go
on
to more fun ones like the family tree quilts i'm planning for me and my
sis
(plus the denim ones to keep the brothers quiet) and kaleidoscopes (a bed
and a wallhanging one). i eventually want to be able to make some art
quilts
that people will want to display (along with the ones that are MEANT to be
used and abused and enjoyed til they fall apart).
