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. :)
