LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY QUILTING SOUL, quilter?
I can't even begin to answer this question. I'm all of the above and more... since I long-arm quilt and have customers, I kit quilts and sell them, I quit my job to quilt... now quilting is my job. How do I answer this question. I'm going to stick with my first answer, "Lord have Mercy on my Quilting Soul Quilter."

I guess I'm traditional and hand quilter. I do piece my quilts on the machine, and sometimes applique on the machine. Any quilting I do on the machine is by using some of the built in stitches like stipples and big circles.

I am fairly new soooo I have only made one quilt from a pattern. I seem to like to make up my own patterns. I machine stitch the top and send the quilting out to a machine quilter... expensive but I really don't have the time to hand quilt. New grandbabies have taken my time. I have one at the quilters and two waiting to go. I also just completed a "soccer" quilt for my great nephew...very simple and I tied it with embroidry thread.

I'm a teacher quilter. I usually find myself thinking will my students like this? How would I explain this? How much time would it take, etc? Then, after all this thinking-I have to rip out the seam I was working on, because I wasn't paying attention!

I am a 1 and 10, learned to cut pieces where the outline had been traced with a cardboard template and a lead pencil which had to frequently be sharpened with a knife. And, we worked on the dining table at night, without electric light--used a lamp which burned something called white gas. my mother had a treadle machine until after WW2. There is still a knob on my right thumb from the wear of a scissor handle. Obviously, when I sign in or out as "the old one", I mean it!! Now, I use my rotary cutter and sing!! piecefully, the old one

I am a think about it a lot, then adapt a pattern to what I think it should have been to begin with, then execute it with much agony, then wonder what is so great about this passion I have for quilting. Then I send it out ot be actually quilted. I laugh at myself a lot too.
