You read it right the first time , I came here before I truly ever started.
I am not counting the helping the friend thing, cause she didnt like what I did. I sewed the seems to big and the block turned out to small, she read me the riot act. It was my first time ever working on a quilt top with no instructions other then to sew the lines straight and make sure they match. But here I am with one quilt top made from start to finish by me, (and I am not counting the panels cause I just had to hand quilt those). And its All your guy's fault I think you all need to owe me chocolate now ( second thought its to hot for chocolate, FQ's will do nicely ) Dawn -- When life gets you down , Get up and Mambo John Candy Remove the NOSpam to reply "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ... Does this mean you came here before you started ever quilting or am I reading it bass ackwards? This is a truly good story too. Thank you Dawn! Diana, truly that bored. -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Dawn in Alberta" wrote in message . ca... Oh boy this is going to be a good one Diana, are you sure your that bored? Anyways as to how I found this neat little section of the universe , I was checking out the rec newgroups one day back in 2001, and saw this group decided to check out and some how got stuck here. Reading the post of Backwage and Mister Bear, Kate, Butterfly, LN and the rest kicked up my interest into quilting. I helped in the making of a quilt a friend was making for her DIL. I have always liked sewing and wanted to see if I could do it. Plus I love color and what other way can you get to feel color and see it come alive other then in quilting. Watching the blocks take on a life of their own its amazing. As to why I stay. Where else can you find other people that you can call friends and not get judged as to what you look like, what your income level is, or why you arent married yet or why you live where you live. I like the people here, some I am finding are as strange as I am. If any one has a question they get answers, if someone is hungry they get fed, and every one is there to lend a shoulder to cry on, to give out hugs and support no matter what is happening. To what I hope to discover in my quilting oddesy, I just want to be able to get the quilts out of my head and make them real. I want to find my own limits. If the quilts make me happy and others happy, then I have done what I wanted to do. But dont get me wrong , lol, I am my own worst critic so it takes alot to make me happy when it has to do with something I make. Well thats my little story, So Diana get better soon as the blue Luna's should only happen once in a blue moon ? Sorry I couldnt help myself lol and yes this is coming from another Luna.
