About Us

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.
