Hello, my name is Sherry, I have been quilting with my grandmother for the last few years. I prefer to hand quilt and machine piece. My first quilt (broken chain) was one that we did for my son's high school graduation a couple of years ago, with my mother and sister helping he has 3 generations that worked on his gift. I am getting ready to start a traditional oceans waves quilt, although it calls for a number of small prints in indigo I plan on using a solid dark blue.

Welcome, Sherry. I machine piece and hand quilt, too. Ocean Waves makes a pretty quilt. Can't wait to see photos. You are lucky to have your family to quilt with. What a joy and how lucky your son is to get such a treasure!

I, too, like the Ocean Waves pattern. I look forward to seeing yours. Keep us informed on your progress. I really enjoy hand quilting as well as hand piecing but I also like the (almost) instant gratification of machine work.
Sherry, welcome to the club, Look foward to seeing your quilt that everyone is talking about ,sounds really pretty .I hope you enjoy your times here with us ..Barbara

Hi Sherry welcome. I really love hand quilting over machine quilting. I find it relaxing to do hand piecing.

Welcome Sherry. My name in Bettie from Northcentral PA. If you have a picture of your son's quilt post it so we can see your work. It sounds beautiful. I don't know much about names of quiltes. What is Ocean Waves? Or is it just what it sounds like? Glad to have you on board! Bettie
