About

Written by Administrator

Deborah Levy My love affair with fabric, thread and sewing machines began at age 8. It has continued to grow and expand over the years. Though trained as a nurse and educator, sewing in any form has always been a passion. After, retirement it became a full time obsession. I am enjoying this journey, and consider it a creative experiment which never ceases to amaze and thrill me. Sharing the journey with others makes it all the better.

I currently occupy my time with my Longarm quilting business which is primarily custom quilting for shows, making quilts that stretch my limits, fabric dyeing and painting, and teaching others to reach outside their own quilted box and explore with me the endless possibilities.

The "P" word

Our world is full of people wanting shortcuts. We want to have everything and we don't want to wait -- we want what we want and we want it right now. The situation with the US financial system is certainly indicative of that...but I'm not here to talk about such an unpleasant topic!!

As quilters we are no different -- we want to produce beautiful quilting and we want to do it yesterday. Now, I'll grant you that there are some prodigies in the machine quilting world, but those prodigies are pretty few and far between. The rest of us have to work at our craft, and what may look effortless is actually the result of many long years of hard work.

Practice might be spelled with 8 letters, but I'm sure many people consider it a "4-letter" word -- one that you'd rather not hear in your house and try to use as little as possible. I'm here to tell you, though, that this particular "P" word and several of its friends are not as horrible as you might think, and I'd like to give you some tips and ideas about how to effectively practice.
