I made my first quilt for my daughter when she was born in 1970. I’ve been sewing since I was a little girl and hardly a day goes by without some stitching in my hands. I consider myself and intermediate quilter. I enjoy handstitching more than machine work. Love to work with wool! I’ve made clothing for our family, drapes, etc. and spent over 25 years making miniature doll clothes and furniture (1″=1′). I am never bored! I love to design and am enjoying sharing a BOM series in my Yahoo group and another one in my Wooly Buddies group. I love this blogging world as it has inspired me in a way that I never imagined just two years ago. Maybe one day, I, too, can have a block featured in your magazine.

I haven’t been making quilts all that long, but my grandmother was a quilter and I always watched her work. I really enjoy making fairly simple quilts to donate to Linus. Have made a couple of larger quilts and have a whole lot of them on my to do list. My stash isn’t all that large, so would love to win the fabric.

I just love Rachel’s blog and patterns. Such a very talented and oh so busy woman. At the moment I am making a Schnibbles every month for the first time working with a range a fabric, which I enjoy more than I thought. I’ve been quilting for over 10 years now and blogging for a year. What an enrichment to my life!!!

I have been a quilter since I was little (so for 25 years or so??) I remember my grandma teaching me how to hand quilt a small doll blanket she had pieced. I think I even still have it somewhere! I have been quilting more seriously in the last couple of years and I’m absolutely loving all of the gorgeous modern fabrics – they really inspire me. (I love Riley Blake – I just bought some for curtains in my toddler’s room) I guess I would say that I’m an intermediate quilter. As far as what kind of quilts I make…I’m trying to do a little of everything. I just recently finished two paper-pieced quilt tops.

I’ve been quilting for about 3 years now. I guess I could qualify as an intermediate quilter… but with 8 children ages 3 months to 12 years, I tend to gravitate toward ultra simple patterns and projects so I can be sure to get them done! Still, I love to learn new things, and aspire to making truly wonderful quilts someday! P.S. I just discovered your blog tonight. I’m so happy to have found it. I’ll be back!

Hey I’ve been following your blog for a while now!!! I think that this might be something you would be interested in. Maybe you’d like to participate or just do a little post about it! I’d love to see it be a great book ☺ (P.S. I’m not getting anything for passing the message along!)

I’m very pleased to organize the first-ever Quilter’s Cookbook with recipes from quilters around the world. Everyone is welcome to submit a recipe, a photo of their favourite quilt and a story for inclusion in the Cookbook. The submission deadline is November 28, 2009.

I’ve been quilting for about 15 years, only seriously for about 10. I’d consider myself an intermediate quilter. I like traditional blocks and scrap quilts.

I have always wanted to learn and my great aunt had the opportunity over the summer to show me how to start. I am enjoying all of the fabrics but have very basic skills at this point. Every project is a new adventure and a learning opportunity.
