Welcome, Deb. It's good to have another PA quilter on the board. I planned to meet up with some board members at Hershey, but it didn't work out. I hope to meet them and you too next year. I didn't start quilting until I retired either, but I'm glad that I decided to take it up. It's addicting. This is a great board. I'm sure that you will be happy that you joined.

Deb- A big welcome from Wisconsin. If you like to use fat quarters, you should join the fat quarter lottery for Aug. KC organizes the swap. There will be a quiz on Thur. to earn extra point. Hope you will check it out. It is a lot of fun and if you do not join you can play along just for fun. I also love pics. Sue

Welcome Deb, It was only a few months ago I was the newbie on the board, now I get to welcome you. The quilter's on the board are friendly and helpful, you will feel right at home. Just ask and they will answer (maybe me too). Be sure to post pictures of your projects, we love to admire everyone's work.

Welcome Deb!! I wish I could retire from my day job so I can quilt all day. This is a great group and you'll learn lots, like where the to find the latest sale on fabric or thread, a new pattern to try, and new techniques to try even different crafts. I have to really watch this bunch because my bucket list is getting really long.





In order to see the rainbow, first you must endure the rain.

Glad that you decided to join us here Deb. It is the best group of friends you will ever find.

Ladies........You would not believe this girl. At first she didn't think she would like it. We got her started and now there is no stopping her. She is a great sewer and does a very nice job finishing them. Of course, we had to teach her how to add to her stash and she caught on to that very well too. She is a true quilter now and all since January of this year.

Thanks ladies. Your welcome means a lot. Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you, I don't have my own computer, so I use my sisters or my friend Carolyns. Will try to get you pics of my projects, no promises as I am a computer dummy. I am working on two row-by-row projects now.
Live, Laugh, Love
