Quilting Anniversary


This month, I've been quilting for three years.  In May of 2010, I decided to begin this chapter of my life as soon as Bob and I returned from our vacation in June.  I followed my plan and dug out the Horrible Brother sewing machine I'd purchased when we moved and downsized in '98.  It had only been used a couple of times between '98 and '10.

Suddenly it was getting a lot of use and it was a PIA, (pain in the ass), believe me.  I was so happy to replace it in December of 2011 with the Wonderful Janome.

In three years I've finished 55 quilts.  I've given most of them away; those that weren't gifted, I've listed in my etsy shop.



To celebrate I'm giving away two Charm Packs of Aviary by 3 Sisters for Moda.  To be eligible to win, like the Janice Elaine Sews page on FB, and tell me in a comment on this post that you have/had.  You can also tell me what your summer plans are, quilting or otherwise, if you want.  One comment per person.

May your bobbins always be full,
