Hello from sunny BC Canada

I have not been sewing for long, maybe a year, and started out with garments...I then took a quilting class, thinking I didn't have as much interest as making clothing, but as it turns out it's my new OBSESSION and I haven't really done much garment sewing any more LOL

I am very new to quilting...still learning all the terms and fun things about this wonderful craft. I have recently joined a local guild that starts back up in the fall, and have a few friends that get together for sew days. I've done a few practice blocks, some log cabin slippers, and basic quilting and want more...

I'm glad I found a forum where I can ask questions, get to know some of you, and learn a lot! It was hard to pick a direction, so many things to make, so many ideas, but I have finally found that I really love the look of stained glass quilts and will attempt to make a small wall hanging to start once summer is over. In the meantime, I will be doing a jelly roll quilt, and some easy Jaybird patters as I find the blocks from Jaybird are easy to understand

Now I've talked all your eyes off, I look forward to spending some online time.

I like the Jaybird patterns, have made a few for baby quilt gifts, the easier ones. But there some very advanced patterns out lately.

Thank you everyone! You certainly made me feel welcome

works4me I'm just over the bridge in Pitt Meadows...hopefully you are staying cool!

cookiemonster, the first Jaybird I did was block for the Night Sky, I was thinking I wanted to make a table topper with that star pattern, then I found the rock candy pattern and have made quite a few of them for practice...once I build up some courage I will post my practice stars I do find a few of them well above my level, the Gravity pattern looks beautiful yet intimidating lol
