Trunk Show Tuesday with Amy from Diary Of A Quilter

This week we are joined by Amy of Diary of a Quilter.  Don't you just love that name?  I do. I mean really it is sort of our diary isn't it?  Our track record of who and what we are and of course sew!  I am a bit jealous of Amy — she is teaching at the sewing summit.. Me. No. sniff sniff. I guess I'll have to take classes and sew like a fool!

A quick introduction and get to know you before we start shall we? 

I learned to sew from my mom when I was young, but didn't start quilting in earnest until I had my first baby and craved a creative outlet. That and something in my day that STAYED finished. Now I have 4 kids ages 4-12 who still keep me busy and my sewing still keeps me sane.  My husband and kids have learned to adapt to my mess and are usually very patient with me, but I try to make them feel like they're my first priority. Because they are.  I've been blogging about my sewing craziness for over 2 years at www.DiaryofaQuilter.com.  My favorite part of blogging is the chance to meet lots of other younger sewers like me – both online and in real life.  I love all of the inspiration to be found in blog-land.  My least favorite part of blogging is the already limited time it takes away from my sewing machine. Someday I need to get up the courage to take a cyber-break and really get caught up in my sewing room. In the mean time, I continue to be a little bit frantic trying to squeeze everything in what time I do have.

Today we get to see some of her favorite quilts~ {she really did pick them! I am not just typing that}
