Great idea, Renee! Here's me, in a nutshell:
Name: Wendy (frood) Home: The Peak of Good Living, Apex, NC, USA Occupation: homemaker/housewife/mom/dilettante Age: old enough for a tattoo (40) Past Lives: Office manager, non-mom Family: Married for 16 years (or is it 17?) 5 kids: DD#1, 11 (12 in 2 weeks); DS, 8; DD#2 aka Miss Fussy Rose, 5 (6 in 3 days); Spike and Giles, aka Entropy and Chaos, 3 Food: Vegetarian and everyone knows chocolate is a vegetable QI's: Spike and Giles are my most trained QIs, but they have recently been joined by a furry, 2-legged dog named Mungo. He has thoroughly inspected my current project, to the point where his fur is part of the quilting design. Machine(s): main machine: Rose, a Huskvarna Viking; quilting machine: Margarita, a Singer 15-125 in a lovely shade of industrial green; back up: Rocky the Rocketeer, a Singer 501A; plus one in time-out/storage, a Singer 306W known as the antichrist; and a non-working (parts missing) hand-crank with a griffin decal on it. Quilting For: About 6 years. I decided DD#2 needed a baby quilt, and that was that. Quilt Assembly Preference: rotary cut, machine pieced, mainly machine quilting, although I have done some hand-quliting, and have more planned to do (plus I have these reallly cool quilting thimbles to use!) Quilt Style Preference: Style? We're supposed to have recognizable style? Huh! who'd a thunk it! Colour Preference: just about anything except muddy colors and baby pastels Skill level: I like the term Confident Beginner, but when I take those quizzes, I come out Intermediate to Advanced for piecing. For quilting, I'm a Dubious Beginner! Posting/Reading frequency: No more often than I breathe. Interests other than quilting/fabric fondling/S.E.X.: Reading (mysteries) and TV. TV Shows: Monk, Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under; Buffy (early seasons only); Forever Knight; BBCA's Coupling; House Invaders... I could go on, but I don't want to waste bandwidth... G TV good! Drive A: Mercury Villager with flames Favorite Quote:"Babies are an inestimable blessing and a bother" Mark Twain "Twins, doubly so" - me. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply |
