Let Me Introduce Myself

My name is Jill and I live in Aurora, Colorado with my husband, two sons and a dog. I've been quilting off and on for 15 years, mostly self and book taught. I'm currently learning to machine quilt on a frame.
Earlier this year I pulled a wet bar out of my basement and replaced it with an area to store my quilting and craft stuff. This left room for a new Grace quilting frame at the other end of my half of the basement. Construction & organization is not quite complete in the pictures, but it looks about the same now...only messier.


No, I have no idea why the builder put a fireplace in the basement.

I also upgraded to a shiny new sewing machine. I love my new Juki 98% of the time...that other 2% being the trek from basement to car & car to shop for classes as it weighs in at about 30 pounds.
You can see the the now mostly retired "Little Brother" in the background.

I'll leave you with a full picture of the quilt I Photoshopped into my header. This was based on a pattern that I have since lost, so I can't give credit. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it's intentionally narrower at the bottom as it was designed to fit into the bow of a sail boat. The cabanas and the palm trees are my favorite parts.
