I am an awesome:: Started making a quilt soon after I had my second child 10 years ago. Before then, I hated sewing, even sewing a button on was the pain in the neck! Though my mom does all kind of needle work, I am a self-taught crafter.

After I got hooked in quilting, my curiousity kept stretching out.
I enjoy; sewing bags, purses, pouches, hats, hand embroidery, dying fabric, knitting, crochet, felt needle punching. And just as all of you are, I am another addicted fabric collector.

My sewing interests are:: quilting

My sewing machine(s):: Janome Memory Craft 6500 Professional, Singer 301, Brother Japanese model, Bernina 1530, vintage Kenmore

I am interested in patterns such as:: Green pepper, Burda, Olympus (Japan)
