Under my needle today ... binding and finishing this Single Irish Chain Birthday Quilt for my Godmother’s 80th
 

Hi Joni, I'm also a nurse, but live in Alaska.  Nothing like quilting to help me relax!  I'm very glad to have this group to fill the gap while our guilds and groups can't meet in person!

I'm doing the same thing -- working to quilt a lap on my standard machine so I thought, oh, there are a bunch of videos from the OPC that I haven't listened too...now here I am completing my profile and roaming through the IAQ site.  So much to look at  -- so many quilts, so little time!

Donation quilt blocks in the mail ... now on to my sandwich-ing my donation baby quilts so I can practice some machine quilting techniques with my sewing walking foot  ...wish me luck !!!

Hello everyone, I’m new to group, but not to sewing/quilting. I love fabric, Color, design, sewing, quilting and fellowship, hope I’ve joined the correct  group. I’m not good with technology, as everyone can see by my sideway picture! Oh well, we live and learn. Currently working on a butterfly quilt.

Hi Kathi

If you want to try your hand at Crazy Quilting Kathy Shaw offers free online classes in Crazy Quilting Basics and Embellishing ... oh and did I mention her classes are FREE !!! She also encourages you to use what you have in your stash Check out her blog ... unfortunately I think you will have to wait until next year to take Basic Crazy Quilt 101 class, but I would be happy to take the class again with you in January if you like and then we can compare notes!!!

Check out my Album in the member’s Gallery to see what projects  I’m working on this week ...OCT 10-16

Thank youThis Mystery Block is such a fun project ... and it looks so complicated and difficult!!! So much bang for your buck!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Mary Ann and I am a retired teacher in Georgia.  I have been retired 5 years. As I sat at home I decided that I wanted a hobby so I started quilting.  Since then, I have 2 machines, loads of fabric and many UFOs.  I want to get busy, learn some things, use up a lot of my stash, and quilt instead of just buying fabric and dreaming! I am really excited about joining  this group. I hope to learn a lot of new, fun things about this hobby of mine and make some beautiful things along the way.

Love quilting in all it’s aspects.  Biggest goal, is to finish projects before letting another start.  

If I’m not physically working on a quilt, I’m usually reading a quilt book whether techniques, styles or fiction.

I am new to this site and just trying to learn the ropes. I am staying safe with my 14 year old Delilah. She lost her litter mate last year and is now very dependent. When Samson and Delilah were together, I could leave them at home without a puppy sitter. But now, she appears to be very fearful; so she is my constant companion. She has her spot on the sewing desk, so I have to limit the size of my project. I have been quilting about 20 years but still consider myself able to learn from just about any place. I am working on lap quilts for everyone who is helping with my father. He is unable to stay alone so my brother and my father's wife's family are taking turns being with him. He is 102 and looking forward to next year. I am also making masks for my family and friends. I am the proud mother of 6 children, grandmother of 16 bio-grandkids and a total of around 25. I have 26 great-grand-kids and looking forward to the next generation (but not for a while, kids are in college or working and need to get their lives going). You can see why I am called "Gramma Charlie". I just turned 80 and looking forward to the next 30 or so years. I have so many quilts to do, St. Peter said I needed to get most of them done first. So I am going to be here a long time. Thanks for listening and we will keep in touch.
