I am a 2nd generation quilter. My hands have always been busy and I love to touch all the fabric. Starting with X stitch and embroidery when I was eight to finding quilting with my first child. I found that quilting was good for my soul.
I am not the most perfect quilter, and have many blocks without points and spinning the wrong direction. But for me it is not about perfection, but the process, the learning and experimenting.
Quilting tends to be a forever journey and keeping up with tips, techniques and others is always growing – the need for having a resource I can use and add to is something I needed and have enjoyed building.
During my quilting journey I had conflicts in schedule, dates, times and family activities – keeping me from participating in a quilt group. I loved the community and support of the group and knew that it was something that helped me continue quilting.
I knew I wasn’t alone in my frustration of missing out on quilt groups, so I started the IAQ. Allowing others – no matter where you are or what your schedule to participate.
