Proof I am a quilter

Lily Pad Quilting wants proof that I am a quilter, well I have already packed everything up so I can't show you my stash or take a picture of my quilting room dining room to show you all of my machines (yes, I do use all of the them!)  I went through some old photos to see if I could find proof.  I'm sure some of you have already seen these pictures, so just bear with me!

Here is my first proof, I pulled my quilt out to the front yard and worked on my quilt during my yard sale!

I go to sewing bees with my friends.

 I am learning how to hand quilt, I can quilt by hand, but I need more practice.  It's actually a lot of fun!  I have helped with two quilts.

 I have learned how to quilt on a treadle!  This treadle is not mine, but if you have not seen my videos of me quilting on my treadle, you can see them here:

 I love to do my piecing on my hand crank sewing machine.  This is at a quilt along at church.

I am so addicted I even take my hand crank on vacation with me and sew in my hotel room!

 This is one of my machines, an old Dressmaker Special, this one is electric.  My grandmother's quilt is hanging behind it.

 I was quilting this quilt until Cupcake demanded attention from me.  Another one of my grandmother's quilts is hanging behind this machine.

Pippi found a spot to sleep under a pile of quilts and blankets.

I love to finish other people's quilts like this Drunkard's Path/Devil's Puzzle Box that Pat finished.  This one is going in my new sewing room after I move.

 I participate in quilt alongs like Lori Holt's Barn Quilt.

 I'm also a copy cat and had to make Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trip around the world quilt.  It is still a WIP.

 I designed my mom's Dresden Plate Block I made for her last year.  I saw a picture of the butterfly block and figured out my own version.

I even wrote a quilting poem!  Here is a post about the poem:  http://missyscakesandaprons.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-quilters-hands.html

Here is a post from January of what my sewing room er dining room looked like with all of my machines.

I packed up six tubs, one suitcase and five boxes of material, not to mention the material I used to wrap breakables in!  I don't even know how many boxes of quilting books, magazines and patterns I packed!  The first room I am going to set up when I move will be my sewing room.  At church I have a prayer quilt ministry and a quilt along where I teach my friends and their daughters how to quilt.

I love quilting!  Have I given enough proof that I am a quilter?  Will I need to go to jail now? (see the linky party about my reference)

To see who else has to go to jail check out the Linky party at Lily Pad Quilting!

Your quilting friend,
Missy

P.S.  I have already delivered five sewing machines to MO, and I still have eight here!  I'm moving in three weeks!
