My introduction,
Hi, My name is Cindy, and
I've been quilting for 3 years. During that time, I've gone from
working 2 jobs, to being unable to work at all due to health issues. To
keep myself busy, and my mind off my disability, I've thrown myself into
quilting full time plus. I've gone from a beginner quilter who needed
to learn how to sew a straight line, to an advanced quilter(according to
my beginning quilt instructor, and others who have seen my
progression), to an advanced quilter. I love to do any kind of piecing,
from traditional blocks to modern, applique to paper pieced, basically
anything that crosses my path I will try. I have even undertaken
quilting my finished tops on my home machine. I am making samples for a
local quilting shop, and I have also started testing patterns for
bloggers.
I really sound like I'm bragging,
and I'm sorry. Unfortunately, a lot of my self-esteem is tied up in
quilting right now, and my doctors are saying I probably won't be able
to hold a regular job down any more. My biggest compliment came from my
25 and 26 year old sons this weekend. We are moving my quilting room
upstairs, and I was trying to figure out how to get everything into the
one bedroom. My son's want me to put my sewing table and machine in the
living room. Why? Why would they want all that mess in the living room?
They complained because I was sewing at the kitchen table this summer,
so why the living room? The answer, they like me being in the same room
when they come over so we can spend time together, and they are both
really proud about how hard I have been working to overcome the curve
ball I've been thrown in life, and are proud at how well I quilt now. My
sons are proud of me! I would never have thought to see the day.
