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?

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!

Chef Lisa, Hopefully I will get the hang of this before too long. My son is the computer whiz and he lives in Scottsdale, AZ. When I see him next he will be able to teach me more about this. I think I've bit off more than I can chew for right now. But I will keep trying. When I see my son he will show me how to post photos, including my own. In the meantime thank you for inviting me to be your friend and please be patient with me. I don't have any friends here I associate with but one, and I rarely see or talk to her because our lives are so busy and she works days and I work nights. I have worked night shift for the past 30 years. I look forward to retirement and then I can maybe have friends and spend more time on what few hobbies I enjoy. Connie

Chef Lisa, I made embroidery squares. I have triangles to piece together to make the block to go around the squares. 6 in all for baby quilt, I'm just not quite sure how to start. I made up the pattern by looking at other patterns for ideas. Think you can help me??? Connie
