Quilt PDF Applique Patterns Baskets Headbands by NewEnglandQuilter

I've lived in New England all of my life, I grew up in Maine and now have a home in New Hampshire. I was always working on craft projects growing up. My cousin taught me how to knit and my grandmother taught me to crochet. When I was in high school, I wanted to make my own hair scrunchies, so my mother taught me how to use her sewing machine. I loved sewing fabric! After college, in the mid 1990's I was a civil engineer for a few years, and I was away from home working at a new drawbridge site in Portland, Maine. I decided that I needed a hobby to occupy my time as I was spending nights away from home in a hotel. There was a JoAnn Fabrics store nearby and I wandered in one night. I found a beginners book on quilting with a sampler quilt to make, and that is how I got started quilting. Since I was on the road, I hand pieced the patchwork and hand quilted a floral motif. I loved seeing the pieces of fabric evolve into a quilt.

So, when I opened my Etsy shop, I wanted a shop name that told shoppers a little about myself. I have always lived in New England, and I love to quilt. Looking at my shop, you may not think that I still quilt much. Somehow, my family members always seem to end up with my quilts! Like many other crafters, my creativity spans way beyond one interest. I have many crafting hobbies that I love, such as: sewing, fabric coiling, embroidery, knitting, spinning, crocheting, needle felting, making ornaments & decor. There are many more crafts that I would like to try as well. Some day I would love to try painting with water colors, create some of my own jewelry, or work with polymer clay. We'll see...

For now, I spend the majority of my time with my husband and two little munchkins, ages 4 & 8. They keep me very busy and make my life full of love and happiness.
