    Default Hello from the Midwest!

    Just wanted to pop in and say hello...I've been a lifelong fan of quilts and quilting, an have played with fabric off and on for most of my life before finally settling into it as a hobby again. I've been lurking for a while being inspired by everyone's work and decided it was time to take part in the discussions.

    I mostly hand-piece and quilt; it works better with my current space and time limits. I do have an old electric sewing machine my grandmother gave me as a girl; it froze up many years ago and got plunked in a closet for repairs that never happened. I also succumbed to the temptation and recently bought a treadle machine that I am trying to restore so I can eventually measure project completion in weeks or months instead of years!

    Happy to meet everyone

    Welcome from beautiful western NC. You will find great inspiration on this site. I have my mom's treadle machine, which I learned to sew on, but I haven't used it in many years.
