She Really Likes Quilts

I was twenty years old when I was introduced to quilting.

That was a long time ago.  Some days it feels longer ago than others.

The first quilter I knew did all of her piecing and quilting by hand.  Her quilts were beautiful, and I wanted to make one.  She taught me her methods and I got started.

I wonder what ever happened to that project?

Can you imagine piecing an Irish Chain by hand?  I never finished it.

Thankfully, quilting methods have changed greatly over the years.  We have so many wonderful choices in fabrics, patterns and tools; it makes patterns that used to seem impossible very, very possible.

And it's a ton of fun.

Becoming a long-arm quilter has been a dream of mine for some time.  As I delve into this new adventure, I'd like to invite you along with me.  My hope is to share tips, stories, encouragement, laughs and a picture or two on this blog.

Won't you join me?

Then we can all like quilts together. :)
