| Kim's Quilts |
| About me: After 30 years of wanting to learn how to quilt, I finally took the first step and began quilting 12/4/00. I prefer handwork to machine, but I do a lot of both. I've completed several quilts, wall hangings and two king size hand quilted bed quilts. At home I sew on a Bernina 200E. |
| I sincerely enjoy meeting fellow quilters, which has been an equally gratifying part of my new hobby. I host a non-guild Sit n Sew group called Land of Cotton Quilters which meets at our home the 1st and 3rd Tuesday mornings. I also belong to Cabin Fever Quilt Guild, Orlando, Fl |
| Favorite quilting retreat: Annual Quilter's Rescue Mission, Toccoa, GA.

Nationally recognized instructors, clinics, and on-site quilt shops and excellent food provided. $240. Contact person for the retreat is: Margaret LaBenne. (see photo album below for evidence of a LOT of fun!) |

| The King Size Dresden Plate took 3rd place ribbon at the Central Florida Fair 2003 and 4th place at the Florida State Folk Cultural Center; completly hand quilted. |
| "The simple fact is that quilts were hand made by people for people. Every phase of quilt production was permeated by giving and sharing. From the trading of scraps and patterns and the actual production in "bees" to the giving away of the final finished work, quilting is an essentially human activity. There is something about a quilt that says people, friendship, community, family, home, and love." -- Foxfire 1' |
| Quilters are the most wonderful and unique group of individuals you will ever spend time with and share ideas with. |
