Meet A Member: Pam Boner

Hi,
I guess my few days turned into a few weeks.  I really enjoyed our September meeting and the demo by Carolyn.  I am really looking forward to seeing all the paper pieced blocks for our next challenge.

A little about me:
By day I am a research scientist. Our household currently consists of the quilt design consultant (aka husband), exchange student from Belgium and our dog Kyra.  Evenings and weekends I swim, bike, run and SEW.  I  Pr'ed (personal record for those of you not into running) at the park to park 1/2 marathon just last weekend.  I was pretty excited that I could still go faster.  Enough about sports and on to sewing.

I have been sewing since I was 9.  I learned to sew in 4-H.  I mostly sewed clothing and home dec stuff until recently. I started quilting in 2010.  My husband was asked to be the godfather for his best friend's son.  In my mind a quilt was needed for the baptism.  So I channeled my grandmother (an awesome quilter) and set out to make a quilt.

I followed this tutorial from teaginnydesigns.  I never imagined that I would enjoy cutting apart and sewing back together fabric.  This was the beginning of my quilt and blog addictions.

Here are a few of my quilts.

I am still totally a newbie but am really glad I found the great lakes modern quilt guild.  I get so much inspiration.  I did finish my quilt for our exchange student on time for her birthday.

My next project is going to be a one block wonder quilt that quilter in the closet is hosting as a quilt along.  I plan to post my fabric selection on my blog soon.

Before I go here is a picture of our dog.


She's not spoiled at all

Glad you let me introduce myself.  I am looking forward to November.
