Profile Information
- Tell us about yourself
- I am a quilter of 30 years an Art quilt of 20 years but in between I was a professional Chef. I made my first quilt in the early 80's living in the Burbs of Chicago, after moving to WIS. I learned how to hand piece and quilt from a friend. That is when I joined my first quilt guild in the early 90's. I have been quilting heavily till I went to culinary school and became a Professional Chef, my quilting was on hold till moving to Florida after a second neck surgery that gave me the time to do my quilts again.
I am recently awaiting a long recovery of spinal surgery due to have a repeat surgery from 6 months prior did not work. I am a big lover of hand work but the design and execution of the whole project is exciting. I love the traditional quilts but, my favorites are still basket blocks and the pineapple.
Cooking and quilting are similar that when a recipient receives a quilt or a planned menu item cooked for them the face says it all. It is the satisfaction factor that helps me create.
I was very active with SAQA (Studio Arts Quilt Association) plus a representative for several years. I was a real self taught quilter, in the past 8 years I have taken classes to open up that field of finding a new niche for me! Lately I have fallen in love with the traditional quilts and Baltimore quilts.
- How many quilts have you made?
- Lost my count many unfinished projects. Many big ones are very worn working on more to replace. I do have alot of wall quilts still
- Do you want to make quilts, or simply enjoy them?
- I love the craft just working with fabric and reconstructing it to something that is gorgeous!
- How long have you been a quilter?
- 30 years plus teaching , 20 yrs as an Art quilter and demonstrator.
- What is your favorite quilting technique?
- hand needle turn applique
- Why do you quilt?
- Just need to keep my mind and hands busy! For the tension relief and the art form & love to work with my hands! Being disabled it is the only thing I can do at a slow pace on and off.
- Do you have a website?

Can you please direct me to the address as to where to send my charms for the cotton swap? I have those (and several more for a future date) to send out, but I can't find the FAQs with that info. Thanks! Gretchen

Denise Felt said… Chef Lisa,
Thanks for the kind invitation! I have far too many quilt projects calling my name at present to consider adding on more with a swap. However, I just got my own place and finally have enough room to work, so it won't be long before I'll be wanting something new to try. Can I take a rain check?
Yours,
Denise

Hi Chef Lisa, Thanks for welcoming me to the group! You're right, I am a bit lost, but will be exploring the different groups. I am really interested in art quilts and applique/thread painting. Any suggestions for groups with similar interests? I haven't seen any .

Thanks for the invite-I will check it out! I am in the midst of wrapping up the school year-we finish on May 29th-and I plan to spend my summer working on several quilt projects. I am a member on Craftsy.com-but wanted to join a group strictly for quilting. I cannot believe it took me this long to discover it!
