A newbie :)

Hi, I'm sort of introducing myself. My name is Sunny. I'm running hard
at 50 and just started quilting a couple years ago. My health took a
turn south and I couldn't work anymore, so the perpetually fidgety,
impatient and hyperactive person took up quilting for a hobby. LOL. I
think I've figured out how to post my photos. Here is a link. There are
two of my quilts on now and I have more to add in a bit.

I'm really soaking up all the information. I've been lurking here
almost a year now. I don't feel very brave. I want to learn more. I'm
really interested in figuring out how to make something that's "me"
rather than always sticking to a pattern. The little wall hanging with
the coffee cup is my design. It's tiny and not very impressive but I
felt proud to think of it.

I hope to get to know you all. I'm an active member of another online
site that deals with a specific health issue. I love my friends there,
but I want very much to concentrate more on what I can do and learn
rather than on the problems I live with.

Thanks for all the good info and smart stuff and wonderful sharing I've
already found on this site.

Glad to see you here, Sunny (I think you said 'hello' a while ago - or
was it a dream?)
As to finding your own style, that could take a while!! You really need
to try things which appeal to you - from their looks, and see how you
enjoy making them - often a very different thing. Gradually, you will
find yourself always turning to a certain type of thing - or you may
not! You might be in the happy position of enjoying most of the work
you do, regardless of style.
I love your attitude to your health issue. Well done you. I am
impatient (with most things except quilting!), it can work g

Hi Sunny,

So glad you could join us! This is a fun group. I think you'll enjoy
it here. As for being brave--I've been quilting for 10 years and some
things still intimidate me. However, I've learned I can always put
those projects on a shelf and start a new one while I'm waiting for the
courage to continue. ;-) (Don't look on my shelves--they're very
full!)

Somehow your link didn't come through. Could you re-post?

Hi Sunny,

Your coffee cup wall hanging is terrific! So cheerful. Really cool
original. I think you may be well on your way to designing your own
patterns. :-)

And I'm really partial to the convergence wallhanging and the quilt you
made for your niece. I can't believe you've been quilting just a
couple of years. Looks to me like you've jumped in both feet and never
looked back.

Thanks so much for sharing!
