Newbie from Purdue

Edwards Finance > Electrical Engineering

Q. I've just started reading the newsgroup and figured out how to post! I am a graduate student at Purdue Univ. (West Lafayette, Indiana) studying Electrical Engineering. I graduate in May and can't wait to be through with school! I will be going to Austin, TX to start a new job (and conveniently, my boyfriend-of-4-yrs has a new job there as well!). I am relatively new to quilting. I've really only made one...I started it my senior year in highschool and finished it my sophomore year in college (bear's paw). I absolutely love it (maybe it's a first quilt kinda thing). I'll have to take a picture and put it on my web page. Since my time is limited with massive school work, I work on small things like coasters and Christmas tree ornaments. Any sewing I have had to do had to be done on school breaks so I could use my mom's 30-yr-old Singer. But for Christmas, I bought myself a new machine, a Janome MemoryCraft. I am so excited!! But in my flurry of packing up my car to come back to school...it got left behind In my grief I decided to learn how to crochet and made my friends some pot holders. My new project (still in my head) is a queen size quilt for the new bed I am going to buy with my first real paycheck! Is anyone out there a student as well? Or in the Austin, TX area? Everytime I talk onthe phone with the BFand complain how cold it is, he likes to remind me he is still playing golf in Austin!

A. Welcome to the group. I'm from Purdue too. I'm an administrative assistant/academic advisor in the Division of Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies. I belong to Old Tippecanoe Quilt Guild, which meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday evening of the month at Morton Community Center. We're getting ready for our quilt show in April. I find the best way to find time to quilt is to have a room dedicated to it. That way you can leave everything out and just go in and do some quilting whenever you have a spare 10 or 15 minutes. Of course as a grad student, maybe a take along project would work better. I hear there are quilters in Austin, TX, too. And maybe next fall you'll be able to go to that big quilt show in Houston. (One of my personal dreams.) I don't know if you can see outside right now, but the snow that was predicted is starting to fall. Looks like a perfect quilting day.
