This is a giant step for me, as I am unsure about putting myself out there. This is the same for the quilting journey that I have been on. It started back in early 1982 when I was pregnant with my second child - that quilt is waiting to be finished. You may ask - what sort of quilt was that and I will reply and say the 'grandmothers flower garden'. This child turns 30 in October and I have decided to try and complete this quilt for her birthday. My journey has seen me travel across half of Australia and be a member of many Quilt Guilds but at present do not belong to any.
I have gone from a very traditional quilter who made quilts based on other people's designs to being a little bit creative. I love to reproduce the designs that take my fancy but at present am venturing out there into a whole new world. I would like to thank all the new and young upcoming quilters for giving me the freedom to fly. The internet has certainly provided me with the opportunity to explore and learn - I live in a fairly isolated place and need the resources that are provided to me.
If you are reading this at a later date I hope you will follow my journey - one that I hope will take me to a new chapter in my life.
May the threads be with you!
