So, I hope you enjoy my ramblings...
I am a wife, mother (of one DS who is 10 going on 30), friend and longarm machine quilter. I have been patchworking for about 17 years and longarming for about 12 years now. I have a love of fabric, quilts and quilting and one of main things I love about quilting for others is being able to pat so many different designs of quilts and fabrics, which, then, of course, means that my stash is enhanced!
I have a long list of quilts in progress and in my head - not to mention the cross stitches that also need to be done.
I am going to make to effort to post some of the quilts that come through my studio (with permission of the owners) and that I make, as that is one of the things I enjoy about looking at other blogs.
The quilt in my header is called Paula 2: Lava Flow and I finished it last Christmas, after doing a class with Paula Nadelstern in 2008 in the US. I have always loved her work and when the opportunity came up to do a class I took the opportunity. It has 16 wedges in the star, and about 80-something pieces in each wedge, all fussy cut and machine pieces. It is quilted on my longarm.
Well done girlfriend! Glad you've decided to take the plunge so that we can have a look at all that wonderful work you do. I'm honoured to be the first to post a comment. Can't wait to hear your ramblings and see some lovely photos.
