Hello fellow quilter!
I always love to hear about new quilters. I sometimes feel that sewing and other types of hand-work are becoming dying arts...this gives me hope!

of us, no not one, is perfect; and were we to love none who had
imperfections, this world would be a desert for our love.

rainy ducky! I love it.
It has more love and talent in it than you'll ever make in money.

Quilter-biker
I am a quilter and a cyclist. On my cross country trip last year, I tried to visit quilt shops and buy a little fabric to make a memory quilt. I visited an awesome shop right on the route of the Underground Railroad which I did this year!!! I bought some bicycle fabric which is awesome and made some sleep/lounge pants that I LOVE!! In winter, I love to quilt when I can't ride but if the choice is ride or quilt, I ride!! I can quilt at night!
I love the ducky quilt! Great colors.

oooooo a quilt!
I'll have to go home and take a picture of my Katrina Memories quilt. I've been a quilter for years. Just lately haven't been doing that much.

WOW! That's nice!
So, let me ask, did you sew the various pieces and the duck onto a piece of material and dhten do the design with the thread over it? Or was the fabric already made with the colored squares and what not and then you sewed the design over it.
Did you do it by hand? I can't imagine someone doing that by hand."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

It actually seems to me like more and more people are reviving the hand-work arts. I'm a knitter and crocheter, and would love to learn to spin and quilt (but haven't taken the plunge yet). At least I hope Originally Posted by JaneE
