My Quilting Adventure

According to Webster's Dictionary, an adventure is an exciting or remarkable experience. That's how I feel about quilting. I have so much to learn, not just about the quilting, but how to view colors, how to work with different techniques and fabrics and how to create something unique.

I have been sewing on and off since grade school. It's only been the past few years that I have become more focused on quilting and 'fabric arts'. I am thinking about entering a quilt contest, which I have never done before. The main reason that I'm even thinking about entering is because the quilt is only 16" x 16". Actually, I've started to plan the design and fabrics.

I bought an HQ 16, which is a mid-arm quilting machine, which I love. I wanted to go to the classes given by the manufacturer, but now with the economy I'm not sure I can. So, if not this year, then next year. I love quilting on this machine.

I hope to add some pictures of my quilts [when I figure out how].
