Novice quilter. I love kayaking, hiking, camping, dog walking, reading and drawing. I took up quilting when I retired as it intrigued me and I was taken in by all the beautiful fabrics and patterns that are out there. I like piecing, but have really fallen in love with free motion quilting. I want to learn more! What has quilting taught me? Patience, meditation, relaxation, craftmanship and has been the perfect release for my blossoming creativity. I have given away all the quilts I have made and just love the process of thinking about the person I am making the quilt for. I hope to grow better at this wonderful art. earn through blogs and videos. Amy's asterisk block in your bock of the month tutorial was my first attempt at quilting. I ended up making my first quilt from that block and gave it to one of my best friends. Thank you Craftsy for helping me along the way.
