Hello! This is the first quilting forum that I've ever been on, I won't try to say that I'm not excited! I'm 23 and I've been quilting for about 4 years now. I have made 8 quilts and I'm working on 9 and 10 right now (my friend is having a baby!!! Number 10 is my first baby quilt!). I'm all self-taught using books that I found in my great-grandmother's house. I am continually finding out the "correct" way to do things because, other than my great-grandmother, no one in my family quilts. I sort of quilt in her memory. She died in August, I experimented in quilting soon after. I began my first quilt that April, using mostly fabrics from her collection.
I make quilts for my friends, family, and for myself. I eventually hope to sell some of them. I only have so many friends to give them to and only so many places to keep quilts before I run out of room! I don't know how to machine quilt, I machine piece, but I hand quilt. I would love to get one of those big machines, I don't even know what they are called, but they take up half the room! I hurt my wrist quilting about 6 months ago, so it is difficult to quilt for hours on end, which is how I like quilting, but if I get one of those machines I can do that again!
So, that's my quilting history. I'm glad to be here and I'm hoping to find more people my age who quilt! Nice to meet everyone!
