Introduction

I started quilting about 11 years ago.  Six months ago, I walked away from the wonderful sport of dog agility.  Since that left me lot's of free time and no outlet for my creativity, I decided to threw myself back into quilting.

I did my first craft show last December.  I made back my entry fees plus a bit more (which I prompted spent at Joann's).  I needed to come up with a name for my booth, and naming is really not my thing.  I finally came up with Just Sew Quilts.  The name fits a couple of levels.

  • First, I'm pretty damn anal, and I like things to be just so.  "Perfect is the enemy of the good" was coined for people like me.
  • I tend to get bogged down in the foraging-for-a-project stage, when what I need to do is move away from mining the net and just sew something on my machine.
My primary interest is creating small art quilts.  I've done lot's of quilts 8x10 and smaller, and I'd like to graduate to some larger wall hangings, but probably nothing bigger than 24"x36" so that the quilting doesn't become an odious chore on my domestic machine.

Come along for the journey.  Hopefully, you will find some useful information.
