Mary's quilts
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a quilter. Some of my friends and family have been asking me to set up a blog so they can view my quilts, old and new. I have been quilting for around 15 years and my favorite thing is needle-turn applique. I work on a very part,part-time basis at Quilt Soup Inc. Quilt Soup is owned by my dear friend Barbara Jones who designs quilt patterns, quilt books, and she also designs quilt fabrics. If I behave myself she lets me go with her to teach applique classes and help her in her booth at the Road To California quilt exposition. Quilting has become a passion with me and I have made many wonderful friends and aquaintences through quilting. About 3 years ago another friend of mine, Charmaine Anderson, encouraged me to start taking pictures of my quilts and keeping a journal of where those quilts ended up. I give most of my quilts away or donate them to charitable auctions and forget I even made many of them. Thanks to Charmaine and the encouragment of others I am trying this new blogging thing! Hope you enjoy.

Hey Mary, Way to go, I love your quilt blog idea. You could add something to it on the left side if you wanted like book reviews since you read so much or whatever. It would give others more than one reason to come to your blog. I like having my paintings a part of my blog but also like the freedom to post other things also. Do you name your quilts? That would be a fun addition. I remember that Isac Diensen of "Out of Africa" named her dresses. I think art is best served with a name--then when you refer to it there is an instant recognition. You are a wonderful artist. Your color combinations have always amazed me.
