just thought i would introduce myself. My name is Wesa i'm from south texas.I'm 22 years old i'm a second generation quilter. my grandmother is the one who started me in the craft. in the last 10-15 years she has made me 10 or 11 hand quilted quilts. i have decided to venture out on my own and i am starting my very own quilt. i'm in the process of piecing it together right now and it will be a lot easier once my machine gets here. then i will quilt it. but anyone from around the freeport angleton area let me know would live to meet other young people who love the cra

Hi, Wesa, to BC!

I only joined BC in mid-January, but I already feel as if I have made friends that I have known forever here. I am sure you will do the same. There are younger quilters here. I am not one of them. I am old enough that although I am only a little beyond beginner myself, I am teaching my DD, who is 20. Maybe someday I will be so fortunate as to be able to teach my GD. I am sure your GM is very happy to see you quilting on your own. We will all look forward to seeing pictures of your quilt ... Pat

Welcome, Wesa!

Don't know how I missed the post?!

It's great that you're starting your adventures in quilting! I, too, have many "Grandma Quilts" & I treasure each & every one of them.

I look forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome, Wesa. I, too, have missed a number of posts! I am a fourth generation quilter, both my grandmothers quilted, as did at least two of my great-grandmothers. My mother taught me when I was quite young. I don't have any daughters, only sons. The oldest one learned. It was a skill that served him well. When he went into the service, he was the only recruit in his company at boot camp who knew how to add patches to the uniforms. He had quite a little cottage industry going there for a time! LOL

Welcome to BC - you will LOVE it here.
