Originally from Nebraska, I have lived in Oz since 1989. I love to quilt in my spare time. My days are filled with family and friends and of course, the 'day job'. My list of 'to do one day' seems to get longer all the time... but my motto is 'Never give up! Never surrender!' I will, one day, use everything in my stash... you believe me, don't you?
Short Story: workshop, mystery quilt, no pattern, verbal instructions, strips, sew a block, cut, re-sew, cut, re-sew.
I could tell I was not going to be able to achieve a standard with which I would be happy to make enough blocks for a quilt... So I now have a table runner on which I can practice my free-motion quilting... If you kind of blur your eyes it doesn't look so bad...
