Ah, the intimidating “about me” page………………….hmmmmm………….
Late 40s, married to a wonderful, exasperating man. One college age daughter. One dog. (Parker the mutt)
Professional machine quilter. Former highschool library supervisor (because THAT is an obvious next move!LOL)
I love to quilt, read, spend time with my family and friends, quilt, read, cook, eat, quilt……………….
Wow! How lame is that! Being able to sum yourself up in 50 words or less!

I read that you went to Shipshewana. Do you live in Indiana?
Ruthie, I live in Michigan near Grand Rapids.
I love love love your blog header. I was positive that that lighthouse was in Nova Scotia Canada. But I see you are in Michigan. Nice..
And I almost forgot to say that I love all your quilting. Man, you take great photos of your work. I’m so inspired.
I’ve just recently found your blog & have been enjoying your sense of humor & quilting! I have an HQ16 & began taking client quilts in January… tho so far I’ve only quilted for the same client. lol Word of mouth has been slow.
Love your quilting! Are these pantos or freehand?
Your take on exercise is hilarious! I started to walk my 70 lb lab puppy recently, tho I do use the word “walk” loosely as he’s exuberant & it’s often more like an morning DRAG!! haha He’s sweet & it’s getting me outside a bit…
I look forward to reading more from you & getting to know you better
Take care… Denise
I love your work and look forward to learning lots from you! I want to see your piecing on the frame technique so will be watching for posts. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Where are you in W. Michigan? Near Holland? We have a lake house there.

Yep, Nancy…I am in Grandville, Mi just a few miles from Holland.
Hi Terri,
I was cruising the blogs and suddenly recognised this wonderful quilt at the top of a page – you had shown it to me last week. As usual your beautiful freehand work leapt out at me. Your quilting always enhances, never takes over, and adds so much to our quilts. You are certainly blessed with a talent, and I am one of the lucky ones whose humble quilts have been given the magic touch of your skill.
You are far more than your 50 words – good grief girl!!! You are generous, funny, dry witted, unbelievably talented, loving, a loyal friend, and a hard working contributing member of the West Michigan Quilters Guild. I’m beginning to sound like a fan club here! Anyway Terri, you’re the best. Adrienne
Adrienne – you are too much! LOL Glad you found me! And stop putting down your quilts. They are bright and fun and marvelous!
Hugs

Hi Terry & Fellow Quilter’s,
I just picked up an old quilt from my mom.
She requested I “look at it” & see if I can “stabilize it”.
It has been in use for at least 70 years.
Its machine pieced, hand quilted.
The bindings are pretty much completely worn out as is much of the border.
The center seems to be in pretty good shape (for its age)
I believe it was created w all new fabrics, (as opposed to fabric scraps from used clothing).
It is dirty too. She was afraid to wash it, for fear it would fall apart.
I thought I would gently soak it in the bathtub w quilt wash, lay it flat to dry.
Then, I’m stuck.
Any suggestions?
Can I send photos?
Anne, you can send pics here:

I would love to see this project…

FYI, I use the same wordpress theme. You can remove the search at the top of the screen. Go to your dashboard, then appearance, then theme options. The first option is to hide the search.
It drove me crazy until I found that.
