The other day Sheila gave me the award of "Versatile Blogger"  This was such  a nice complement as I am very new to blogging, and love to share my quilting knowledge such as it is.

 Sew  I want to sayThank you Sheila , Sheila's Quilt World

and also thank you for helping become a reply blogger, sew that I can hear back from the sites I leave comments on.

now for a few things about myself

1. I have always played with fabric ..... my mom would let me in her scraps to create some pretty strange looking doll clothes , which at the time I thought they were wonderful at the time.

2. I have a collection of sewing machines , varying from little clocks to  3 vintage treadle..... all in all I think I have around 20 ( running out of places to display them )

3. I have started to design a few patterns .

4. I teach a few quilting classes ..... I have 4 classes to teach this fall.

5. I enjoy each season as they come, they each have something to grab our attention, from the colors to the smells  just  the change in things around you.

6. Next to sewing and quilting I will use yoga  or a long walk to relax.

7. I love to make many different items for my family..... can they ever have too many quilts ...right. It is my way of wrapping them in hugs.

Now to give pass on the award ... hmm. I don't have that many bloggers that I have contacts with sew I will do my best at giving at least a short list. I am not sure that I will be able to come with 15  there are sew many out there that I do not know yet.
