No, your response is not too late and I appreciate your reply. I'm new to the shortened abbreviations and achronyms (sp) now with twitter and facebook, but I haven't quite figured out facebook, let alone twitter. However, I will say that once I found this site, I've been hooked. It's so nice to share my love of quilting with others, learn new things, share comments with one another and most of all the beautiful quilts, which give me so much incentive and inspiration to try new things. I appreciate the website - thank you.

I love a lot of different things. I'd say that I'm eclectic. I adore miniatures and challenge quilts (I'm about halfway done with my Dear Jane - so far over 3,000 pieces) Midge Blocks, Nearly Insane, Crumb quilts, 3/8" hexagons, Penrose Quilting, GFG I could go on.

My "style" tends toward the 'get 'em done quick' quilts. I daresay the quilt police will be at my door but I am trying to use up my stash. Have 20 quilts to make for family for Christmas and I'd never get them done if I used conventional patterns and techniques. I piece and husband quilts on a Bernina frame. Family enjoys the quilt and uses them. Heck, they're not going to hang in Paducah!
Have decided to make only quilts, no more wallhangings. Mug rugs, table runners, place mats never appealed to me.
I hope the purists on the board remember that, traditionally, quilts were hand pieced and hand quilted ( not sent to the long armer.)

I guess I'm a traditionalist. I've done Dresden Plate, Jewel Box (x3), churn dash, sunbonnet sue, windblown stars, & so on. For fabrics, I like the old stand-by designs & I've just started using a few batiks.

I read a lot of quilting history and enjoy making quilts from traditional blocks. Most of my work is small, usually wall hanging size. My sewing machine is small and I like projects that I can finish before I get bored.

Sometimes, I want to make a quilt and need to feel I have accomplished something. Since I work full-time, outside the home, my quilting time is limited, so I will often choose to make something that goes fast. Other times, I want a project that I can "get lost in" and choose a more complicated quilt. Then, there are times I am possessed by a creative monster and do something intuitive, without any forethought, and sew around the clock! Just depends on my mood. I like having options, and I really like having simpler quilts, with time-saving techniques, to teach to my non-quilting friends! These are such a great way to broaden our community!
