Many of you are long-time readers of my blog. I am going to purpose to post at least once a week. My husband and I are empty nesters after a whirlwind of years raising our 8 children. I don’t think I have sat around and rested much, and I don’t even know what it means to be bored. Our lives are filled with vastly different activities. We have changed much in some areas of life and none at all in others.
I have been quilting for 30 years. My tastes have changed so much. I love every part of quilting. At the beginning of the year, I started following Susan Smith (Stitched by Susan on all social media, including podcasts). My love of and skill for machine quilting has forever been changed. In the past few years, I have started machine quilting for customers. I am so grateful to have sold many quilts I have pieced and quilted in the past few years as well. Not making a huge profit (because if you quilt you know the cost of materials and the number of hours of labor), but making my hobby worth it to me.
Here are a few quilts I have pieced recently. I love getting comments and questions, so fire away! If you want to know fabrics or pattern names, email me. I am also on Instagram as shelby_stitcher. Shelby, NC is my hometown.
