"Well Colleen, I let the quilt speak to me. I've had some quilts when I'm done piecing it that just scream at me that it must be hand quilted such as my "Oopsie Daisy" which took me 6 months to quilt. My Celtic quilt took 3 months…"

Sherri Eley replied to Colleen Hendrix's discussion to machine or not to machine = that is the question! in the group Ohio Quilters"I don't feel like machine quilting is cheating. Beautifully machine quilted pieces are art. I am more of a utility quilter, by the time I get the top pieced I just want to get it done. I do not enter my pieces into shows…"
Nancy Van Curen replied to Colleen Hendrix's discussion to machine or not to machine = that is the question! in the group Ohio Quilters"I personally don't hand quilt......yet! That is an art in itself! But..... I think it depends what you are working on and what you are comfortable with! With the machines of today, quilting has evolved into a modern art so to speak!!! When I…"

Colleen Hendrix replied to the rogue quilter's discussion gotta complain here :))) in the group Scrappy Quilts"Regarding the pricey bins = try resale shops like Goodwill or Salvation Army stores. I've even found good fabric there."
Colleen Hendrix replied to the rogue quilter's discussion gotta complain here :))) in the group Scrappy Quilts"I do scrap quilts from necessity - I never have the money to buy coordinated fabrics.

Linda Hubalek said… Welcome Quilter Friend!
Just wanted to pop in to say “hello” and introduce myself. Thanks for adding me to your friends list.
I’m Linda Hubalek, fellow quilter and author from Kansas. Books about pioneer women are my specialty, with a cooking or a quilting theme mixed into each historical fiction series.
My Trail of Thread historical fiction book series, written in the form of letters sent back home, describes my ancestors’ wagon trail journey and homesteading in Kansas. Each book mentions twelve old-time quilt patterns, and I put drawings of them in the back of the books.
So if you like to read—besides quilting—please enjoy my blog and book excerpts on my website. Besides printed as paperbacks, my ten books are also available for your Kindle or Nook.
I have about a dozen quilts made by my great grandmother, (that we used all the time when I was a kid) so I’m into antique quilts and patterns. What kind of quilts and patterns do you like to work with?
Happy quilting and Happy New Year!

Hi Colleen, Glad to meet you. I am so new to this site I'm not familiar with how to navigate. (Be patient and bear with me.) I absolutely love quilting - all types - Pretty much "self-taught" until about a year ago when I joined a guild and signed up for a couple of workshops. Am happy to be a part of this group. Have a very Happy New Year!

Is it a little selfserving to comment on your own profile?
