I always enjoyed quilting. I only made one complete quilt. It was machine pieced, but hand quilted. The others, I had hand quilted by someone else. Then machine quilting became acceptable, and could have the quilting done cheaper. In later years I no longer did large quilts, but did do a lot of wall-hangings, lapquilts and many, many quilting decorated sweatshirt jackets.
A sweatshirt jacket is just right for our mild winter days, and I enjoy wearing them, so have several.
I think you'll enjoy quilting, Karen... and know Debbie would be more than happy to share her knowledge with you.
Happy RVing All!
