This is my first try at this. At this age still trying something new. I started quilting seriouly in 1983. Made my first quilt from cardboard templates, hand stitched and hand quilted. One thing about the primitive way we quilted, that quilt remained on my bed until I retired it two years ago in very good condition. The technology today and techniques applied to do the art is very appreciated. I made that quilt in a sew as you go method which was new at the time. Three decades later and a state of the art sewing machine I don't have time to hand quilt. I do hope you enjoy viewing this prized family possession. The quilt is a queen sized, Ohio Star pattern in red, black and gray.
Cheers,
Rett

City quilts with country flavor all starting with squares
Welcome!
Welcome. So glad you stopped by to visit. I love company. Let me show you what I've been doing lately. I'm a traditional type of quilter and a little artesy every now and then, meaning I love to add on when the need arrises. Don't want to over load my brain by trying to start an idea from scratch. One of my problems is that I see something and I'm so curious I want to know "how did they do that?" Once I know it becomes a project in the corner. I JUST WANT TO KNOW. So take a peak at some of the quilting that really has sparked my interest.
Cheers,
Rett
