I was tagged! By Linda at Flourishing Palms. I met Linda through the Des Moines Modern Quilt Guild. Apart from being a very accomplished quilter, she has a very caring spirit. She leads Stitchin' Mission, where she teaches quilting while serving different organizations.
So as part of being tagged, I have to answer questions:
Where is one place in the world you haven't yet visited, but would like to?
Hhmm. . . Vietnam. I've always wanted to go to Vietnam.
What's your favorite quiltmaking gadget?
My seam ripper! Really. Or my purple thang.
How often do you oil your sewing machine?
*sheepish smile* I haven't. I have two machines and I haven't ever taken them in or oiled them. I have removed the plates and removed lint.
What's your favorite perfume?
I don't wear perfume, but I love the smell of Miss Dior.
Machine-piecing/applique or hand-piecing/applique?
Machine piecing! When I want to do hand work, I cross stitch.
What's your favorite dessert?
Tie between cheesecake and pie.
Who's your favorite author?
Jane Austen. Yes, I am one of 'those' women.
What quilting technique would you like to learn more about?
I took a beginner paper piecing class and I would like to explore that avenue more. I would also like to learn how to sew curves. The combination of that would be New York Beauty. There is a New York Beauty quilt along going on right now, but I had to forgo. I have been stalking the flickr group.
What dish do you cook/bake that is considered your best?
I am a dessert person, but I wouldn't say I have a signature dish. I guess one I do make repeatedly is Gingerbread Pear Trifle. It is exactly what it sounds like. VERY good!
Machine-sewn binding or hand-sewn binding?
Hand sewn :( I hate binding. I would like to start a movement to make no-binding quilts popular.
So I am tagging Jenny at Down to Sew. Jenny rescues my quilts by doing wonderful long arm quilting. Apart from being a talented quilter, she is a lovely person.
My questions are:
1. If you took on a new hobby, what would it be?
2. Do you have a hard time gifting quilts? I often wonder about this, because some people are very generous with their quilts and I am not (sometimes).
3. Raw Edge or Needleturn Applique?
4. What colour continually shows up in your quilts, but you deny 'liking' it?
5. Favourite band from the '90s?
Hmm. I think your signature dish - Gingerbread Pear Trifle - would make a nice treat at DSMMQG!

Paper pricing is something i want to learn how to do, too. I love the preciseness of it.
Fun list!!
