My first blog!


Okay, I am going to attempt to start a blog. My name is Toby Lischko. I am a quilt designer, teacher, and addicted quilter. I started quilting in 1985 and got hooked after my first lesson. I have my own company Gateway Quilts & Stuff, that I started in 1998 and a website http://www.gatewayquiltsnstuff.com/ that I started a year ago. I am now celebrating my first anniversary. I also have a Facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/wwwgatewayquiltsnstuffcom/115836661266?ref=ts. Please consider becoming my "fan". I will use my blog to keep you updated about what is going on with my quilting. My FB fan page will also contain things happening on my website.
I am currently working on a quilt for Hoffman fabrics for fall market with a wonderful fabric collection called Treasures from the East. It will be a free web pattern on their website. I will post the link of it as soon as it is on their website. When I get it done, I will post a photo of it.
Like most quilters, I have many projects going on at one time. As I get a hang of this blog thing (and time to work on it), I will start adding photos of my work. I hope you enjoy reading about my quilting adventures, which get better every day!

Hi Toby I too just started a blog so we will be newbies together. I wonder if I can come up with enough of interest to get any readers to follow. Good luck to you.

Hi Toby, I'll be checking in to see what's going on! I've been blogging for about a year and a half. It really is fun and makes you stop and reflect on what's going on in your quilting life!

Hi Toby,
Look forward to hearing about your work and travels. I've been blogging for about a year and a half. It's been fun to post notes and pictures (and to look back at what I've been doing - just like Cindy).
