Are there any banded (or soon to be banded) quilters?

Are there any quilters out there? I would love to hear from you.

Hi,

I love to quilt. Have a few in progress right now. I do machine piecing and quilting. I was going to quilt tonight, in fact, but decided to scope out LBT, because my surgery is getting closer and closer. I have had a problem with quilting lately, though, because my ankles swell so much while I'm sitting at my sewing machine. When you're too fat to quilt, you're too fat!

What kind of quilting do you do? How long have you been doing it?

Hi Lindsey,

I also do machine piecing, but also love to hand applique. In fact, it is my favorite thing to do. (It is nice to just sit in a chair with my feet up! ) I have been quilting since 1991. How about you? Have you been banded yet? My date is Oct. 15. It was really nice to hear from you!

Hugs!

I've sewn for a long time -- in fact I have a BS in Home Ec. I started quilting in about 2000.

I'm waiting for a surgery date. I've been getting through all the tests and pre-op stuff, and it's taken months. My date should be in late October, or early November, but I have to prove I've lost the 15 pounds first. I've got 13 down my first week of dieting, and two to go, but no weight loss this week. Sticking with it though.

Boy, you have less than two weeks before the big day. Good luck! I think it's going to be life-changing, don't you?

Hi All,

I am also a quilter and scheduling my surgety for the 19th of December. I have a home hobby machine quilter, and embroidery maching. I love to design my own quilts. Have been in a few craft shows, but without much luck. It is what I do to relax and have fun. Wouldn't it be fun to get together and share all of our stash?

I have completed all of my steps except final meeting with Dr, and to schedule surgery. I am excited to get going. and feel like I am limbo right now.

Look forward to hearing from more of you.

I love to sew and I'm working on my first quilt right now. I mostly sew custom children's clothing. My favorite thing is applique. I used to sell alot on ebay but have been so busy with "real life" stuff that I've slowed it down to a few custom orders from repeat customers. Here's a link to see some of my work.

I love quilting!! I dont have a lot of time to sew currently, but I really enjoy it. I think my favortite part may just be buying the fabric! I have quite a few projects in the works right now. I have only actually finished two quilts completely. I hope to throw myself into quilting this winter. I have finally got my sewing room finished! Been in our house a year, and it is the only room that is finished:) I was so excited to see this thread!! I cant wait to hear more about projects and maybe see some photos:) I am still going through the process. Just had all of my consults yesterday. Now I have to wait for my consult to see the surgeon and go from there. Wait wait wait. That is what I am doing now...It is very difficult for me. Have a wonderful day my fellow quilters:)
