I live in Kentucky. Had a sewing business for 12 years. My husband and I just started up a new business together last year..not in sewing. So now
I can finally sew for my own pleasure!!! I have falling in love with baby quilts and have made 4 so far, some with my own designs. I'm really interested in applique quiltling, I don't know if I'll be good at this as I have very little patience. I sew all my quilts on the machine, from start to finish. They hold up really well this way, as I insist they are to be used!!
Looking forward to chatting with other quilters!

Hello and Welcome Catherine!

I know you are going to enjoy this site. Everyone here is so helpful and encouraging. They are great! I read that you had a sewing business for 12 years, did you make clothing, or quilts and other projects or did you do the sewing for other people? I would love to have my own sewing business at some point in my life. Do you have any pictures of the things you have made to share with us? I get so excited when someone posts pictures of their creations, I act like a little kid at Christmas...haha I love seeing everyone's work, it also gives inspiration for new projects. :)

I had a Custom Sewing Alteration Business, my Specialty was Wedding Gowns, I just loved tearing them apart and redesigning them. Wow..I have sewn so many different things... I've altered, and repaired and designed .........and boy could I write a book on all the funny things that went on during those years. I always told my close employee that this business would make a great sitcom ........yes I have pictures, I'll have to dig them up to send you some. I too, love to see photos of other peoples work. So, This is the last baby quilt I made. Looking forward to chatting!!!

Knot Sew

Oh that is just so sweet, I have no babies left in the family. I bet it smells lik baby powder :D

Catherine

I don't know about baby powder..as soon as the quilt arrived to my granddaughter in KS., she threw up her dinner of carrots on it. So we consider the quilt baptized!! ha!!

Your quilt is beauitful and as you said baptized. I made baby quilts for all 7 of my grandkids and all but one either threw up or wet it as soon as it arrived.
Don't forget to check out our Picture page they're alot of beauitful quilts to see.
