Well, I thought that I would give this a try. I have been inspired by so many other blogs out there, that I thought this might be a good place to talk about whats going on with me, and what I happen to be working on.
I grew up around quilting and sewing machines. My great grandmother quilted from a huge frame that came down from the ceiling over her guest bedroom bed. I remember her piecing quilts by hand in front of the television as she watched her "stories" during the daytime. My mom sewed for the public also, mostly alterations and such, but even so, I still grew up around machines.
I went through a very dark period in my life when the last of my family were laid to rest, and came out of this period by going back to my family roots with quilting...hence the name...One Quilt at a Time. I get many different reactions from ppl when they find out I quilt, but its something that calms me, and also keeps my hands busy.
I don't really set deadlines for anything that I do, but I seem to not work on more than 2-3 projects at a time. I have a great sense of accomplishment when I can finish a work, and knowing myself, if I had a closet full of UFO's, it would just 1. make me crazy! and 2. lead to a sense of not finishing something.
And seriously...NOTHING I do is exquisite! But I enjoy it, and its kind of a therapy for me. When I figure out this blogging "thing" alittle more, I will post some pics of projects that I have completed.
Thanks for reading and...
lets Git Ta Quilt'n!
