When did you begin your first quilt?
I have been sewing for 50 years. I made my first quilt for my daughter in 1982.
When I'm not quilting, I like to:
I love being with my family, especially the grandkids!! I love my friends, going to lunch, and enjoying life with them. I read when I want to relax and I quilt for my creative side and "therapy"! HA!
Where do you find your inspiration for new quilts?
My quilting expertise is:
I have quilted for a long time!!

I love the new fabrics and all the great ideas of the young quilters. I would like to have programs and gain more knowledge from other quilters.

When did you begin your first quilt?
I played with quilting when I was a teenager and young adult. When my children were born I made little baby quilts, but I really started to quilt in earnest when my passion for painting began to wane. I seemed too busy to get the paints out and get something done, but the quilting could stay in progress. I kept working on pieces and found that I liked it so much better than any form of artistic expression. Now, when people ask me what I do I always say, I am a quilter.
When I'm not quilting, I like to:
I keep in touch with my friends through Instagram. ladyrosien is the name I use on Instagram. I spend time seriously writing when on vacation in the summer. Like my quilts, my novels are WIPs that I hope will not become UFOs. I enjoy shopping for interesting things to decorate my house and I love to cook. I get tired of same old same old so I often am trying to create something new to entertain my heart.
Where do you find your inspiration for new quilts?
My quilting expertise is:
Intermediate and sometimes better.
What do you hope to gain by joining the Front Range Modern Quilt Guild?
When we moved to Colorado I left a lifetime of family and friends In California. My quilting buddies were so far away. I wanted to become acquainted with people who live near enough to share time and ideas in person. The FRMQG has really met that need. I am so stoked to find a group of people who are not conventional quilters. I like to do different things and not feel as though I didn't do it "right" because I approached it in a non-traditional manner.
