About Me

My name is Rose and I live in Central Alabama. I am a wife, mother of a DD and a DS and Gigi to four nine grands.  I have been sewing as long as I can remember.  I helped my mom make several quilts as a teenager and have been seriously quilting for over 20 years.  

In 2016 I had to give up my sewing room for family (I would do it again). I gave away 11 boxes of fabric and only kept what was intended for a project or was already a kit.  For 2 years I only had access to Florence, my trusty treadle Singer.  

I finally made arrangements to use another room in our house and created a "studio" of sorts and began rebuilding my stash.  Brought out my trusty 40 year old Kenmore named Matilda and went to work again.  Since then I have purchased a HandiQuilter Sweet Sixteen named Gretta, a 1950 Singer Featherweight that I named Gladys and in December 2021 I purchased a Grace Q'nique 19X Elite I named Leon. I love sewing and quilting on all of them.

I purchased a Gracie Queen Wooden frame and put the Sweet Sixteen on it.  It's a great beginner long arm experience.  I have to use the foot pedal but other than that it's a longarm.

UPDATE:  In June 2020 my DS married and I acquired 5 more grands!!!  He and Lump have moved to Kansas.  I sure do miss them.

UPDATE:  In December 2022 I retired, sold the Gracie Queen Wooden frame and put Gretta back in the table.  I have purchased a Q'nique 19X Elite that I have named Leon and a Continuum II frame.
