Default All things Fiber

I am in love with all things Fiber. I have been for as long as I can remember. I took a long break from sewing until I was laid off for the first time in 2003. I knit, sew (purses, art to wear jackets, boxer shorts, etc.), quilt and usually have multiple projects going at all times. You never know what might come up out of the basement next.

I am attaching a picture of a scrap quilt I made for my Cousin and his wife. He told me on the phone that he didn't think she even smiled that much on their wedding day. I am really picky who I give my quilts to. I don't want to put all that hard work into one only to have it end up in a dog's bed.

The second picture is of my longarm (quilt machine). This thing sits on a 12 foot table and the machine head weighs 47 pounds. Yup, I am very serious about my hobby. I do quilt for others, but that is my fun job, not the job that pays my bills.
