Day One: Not at all sure what I'm doing here but whatever...I'm doing it.

I'm trying in my own confused way to create a viable business here in Small Town, OH. I want to quilt quilts for other people. This is not 'piecing' but the actual quilting process done on a longarm machine. Yes, I do make them too but the business would be the quilting part of it. It's an art form and requires constant practice. As of yet I'm not good enough to do 'show' quilts but I'm adept enough for those to be used as gifts and every day snugglies or bed covers. I simply love it.

Right now I'm doing an art quilt for my friend Tracy. She made this gorgeous quilt for her husband, Mark. It was her first quilt ever but her color choice made it exquisite. We collaborated and decided it needed an 'under the sea' theme. I have it on the machine right now and I'm trying to put multiple surprises in the stitches. So far a treasure chest, string of pearls, mermaid, eel, silly fish, his name, and weird plants from my imagination et al. So guess I'll get back to that big machine sitting in the living room. I'll try to post pictures later.
