Profile Information
- Tell us about yourself—as much or as little as you like.
- Being a retired teacher, I was bored to death, so I took quilting lessons. In the three years I have been doing this, fabric and quilting have become new passions which I enjoy immensely.
- How many quilts have you made?
- probably close to 20
- Do you want to make quilts, or simply enjoy them?
- I love all aspects of quilting. Where some people will tell you they don't like to select the fabric, I love it! I get so excited when I'm piecing to see how it's going to look. I can hardly wait to have someone hold it up so I can see how it's going to finish out.
- How long have you been a quilter?
- Only 3 years because I retired from teaching and HAD to find something to do with my time. I volunteered in my church's quilting ministry and fell in love.
- What is your favorite quilting technique?
- I love so much of it, it's hard to pick just one. I love scrappy quilts and easier patterns because I don't get so frustrated. Eventually, I would like to learn how to do art quilts and maybe a little applique. Right now, I'm perfectly happy cutting and piecing them.
- Why do you quilt?
- I absolutely love it. For me, it's my art. It's how I express myself in color, texture, pattern, etc. I find I am drawn to certain fabrics. Being relatively new, I want to do it all. I've made a Civil War quilt, baby quilts, floral quilt, scrappy quilt, etc., so now I'm looking for new things. I just purchased some Asian fabrics and red and white fabrics. I think those might be next.
- Do you have a website?
- http://No

Hi, Karen! How are you doing?
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your comment back in January about my giving a FW to my granddaughter. Have had an endless head cold since then, and have neglected the computer.
You asked if my daughter sewed..it is my daughter-in-law. She is too much of a perfectionist to try sewing with 4 kids and huge house to take care of. She has my Mom's 60 year old Bernina Machine. I hope there will be time to play with her and it after the the kids are less needy.
I enjoyed looking at your quilt photos.
I want to try my luck at that.. At the age of 14 I won a scholarship to the Art Institute of Mn. But my parent would not pay for my boarding for 9 weeks every summer my last 4 years of school. I t
Was very hurt. I have found my love of Art coming back.
I USE TO LOVE CHARCOAL PAINTING..THANKS FOR THE INFO.
Oh good! You added some pictures!
By the way, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but if someone sends you a comment you can click on their name (it should be a different color than their comment) and you'll land on their main page. That's true for the groups and the forum as well. I like visiting the pages of others because you can see their pictures. Also, just for the heck of it I'll click on "Quilters" at the top of my home page and you can click on anyone to see their page. I was trying to welcome people as they joined, but too many are joining too fast! I think that's how I met you!
