My name is Mindi Adkins, and I love quilting! Even though I grew up playing beside my mother’s and grandmother’s humming sewing machines and played under quilts being stitched at our church sewing circle, it wasn’t until I was sixteen, that I ‘discovered’ quilting.
Some friends and I were privileged to have an older friend offer to teach us how to make a quilt. She took us to the quilt shop to buy our fabric and taught us step by step to sew a log cabin quilt. Hand stitching the finished top was the longest part of the process!
I enjoy hand quilting, but am always on the lookout for an easier, quicker way to get things done. When the chance came to buy an A1 longarm quilting machine in 2010, I was very excited, and a little nervous! Now, over 12 years later, I’ve finished over two hundred quilts in my little home on the South Dakota prairie, and I look forward to quilting for you!
