I have been trying for several days to get this blog started. I still have no clue how this blogging works but over the next few days, I will try to figure out how to add pictures. I am a longarm quilting teacher and author, and have done many show quilts that have won many awards. I love teaching students, especially beginners.
I have quilted with a longarm quilting machine for the last fifteen years, and only started quilting 18 year ago. My first quilt was a utility quilt I did for my daughter. I remember she loved it and wanted me to enter it into the county fair. I was the only one at the show that did not received a ribbon. Everyone else at least got a white ribbon. The judge said it would make a great utility quilt but it wasn't good enough for a ribbon. Honestly, I almost quit quilting, but after reflecting on my quilting experience, I really enjoyed cutting all that fabric apart and sewing it back together. I studied hard, watched TV quilting shows and read every magazine and quilting book I could get my hands on. I've learned so much and still set goals for myself every year to try to improve on some of my quilting skills.
PS My daughter still has that quilt on her bed, almost 18 years later.
