I have finally talked myself into signing in. Been browsing here for a couple of months - learning a lot and enjoying all the beautiful quilts posted. Gives me inspiration. I am a fairly new quilter - started 3 years ago by taking a dresdan express class. Quilting was something I always wanted to learn and finally after my DH and I retired from CT to Myrtle Beach, SC I got that chance and enjoy it very much. Right now I am dealing w/carpal tunnel and arthritis so not able to do much quilting. Bear with me while I now learn how to move around on this quilting board and try and learn some of the abbreviations that are used here. Happy to be a part of this great group.
