This is an awesome place! Lots of talented sewers/quilters! Thanks for letting me in. I hope to learn to quilt, maybe even find someone in PA (Berks/Lancaster Co.?) who would be a mentor. For now I am experimenting on my own. So far I made two crazy quilt blocks, got stumped and turned them into something else. Had to be there, lol. Not giving up, yet. Looking forward to hearing from anyone!

Hello! And welcome! :-)

There's people of ALL skill levels here, so don't fret. :-)

I have to tell you... I met a guy from Pennsylvania once, and me and my big mouth I blurted out "wow, isn't that where Dracula is from?!?"

When he stopped laughing he pointed out it was TRANSylvania I was thinking of.

I told him I was Australian as an excuse! ;-)

Thanks for the welcome, Blue Chicken - and the story! It was amusing. My daughter went to Australia/New Zealand for two weeks when she was 13 through People to People International. She says it was wonderful, and ever since, she hopes to be able to return some day! (She's 20 now...) See you around!

Good morning to you too, and thanks for the welcome! Home of Robin Hood? Made me laugh. Couldn't sleep here - the Mad Snorer is at it again. Nice to have some "company." Eventually I hope to chat. I'm sure I will have lots of questions!

Oh my goodness... we have "the boonies" too... I never knew it was a world wide phrase! LOL Another name for it is "out in the wop wops". No idea where that originated from.


*QuilterWannabee*, what time is it there? It's 8:35pm here. I'm about to send the kids to bed and have some peace and quiet! :-)

BC, that was always my favorite time, when everyone else was in bed.
Now I have an empty nest, and can't sleep!

God does have a sense of humor :wink:
