Quilting Machine (Brand, type, age)
NOLTING pro series (longarm), my Singer.

When did you start quilting?
Way back in the 70’s, but only 3 years on the longarm.

What /who is your inspiration?
I really can’t recall any one person, but when I see things, I always think I can do that. I don’t always get to it right away, but years or months down the road I will.

What type of quilting do you prefer? (custom, panto, freestyle, etc)
free styleI can’t follow a straight line. Plus I think it comes from the fact that I also am a fine art painter, watercolors and acrylic , but who has time with quilting.

What is your greatest quilting obstacle?
Me, I never do enough, have enough toys, have enough time. My husband says “ENOUGH ALREADY”.

How many quilts do you quilt per day/month/year?
About 1 a week, since I do charity work for OQG, Quilt for Valor.

What do you do to keep focused? (music, book on tape, mantra…etc)
Maybe the noise of the longarm, usually I zone out.
