In November, 2006 I designed a quilt for my mother. I call it “The Stingray Quilt”. She went on a tropical cruise years ago and had a photo taken while she was petting a stingray. She lives in Florida and has always loved the ocean and the color turquoise so I decided I needed to design a quilt with these elements in mind.
Here is a photo of my Sting Ray Quilt design I created on EQ5 (quilt design software).
Please take a moment to view to see some of my Photo Gallery of the Sting Ray quilt as it progresses and other project that I am working on.
I had always been sewing since a young girl (thanks to my creative and very talented mother). I would do everything from cross-stitching to embellishing vintage wedding gowns my father would buy for me from antique shops.
I have a beautiful quilt that my great-grandmother had made me when I was born. One chilly fall day in 2006, I got the quilt out to snuggle under and watch a good movie. I took a look at it and thought “I could do that! That looks like fun!” So online I went and searched for a local quilting class. Little did I know that I would become a quilting addict. So here I am… to learn, to share and to grow as a quilter. If I can help at least one person to learn something new or to be inspired then the purpose of this site is complete.
Thank you all for reading and HAPPY QUILTING!
