Hi--I'm new to the group and a beginning quilter. I'm learning by trial and error and have done my share of removing stitches. Love fabric stores and call it my eye candy. Always looking for a good quality bargain and stash shows it. Also love to read and do a little gardening.

Hi, Carrie! Welcome! This is my favorite site, and I'm sure it will be your new fave, too.
I think we have a little bit of everything here. We're a group of quilters, but you can get advice for ANYTHING! :D
I like to garden, as well, but this is the first year we didn't put a out a garden! I still have some things growing on the porch in pots, though.

Hi Vicki--I've been reading different postings and find the topics and answers great. That is what prompted me to join. This group is a first for me. I'll be sure to watch out for Patrice!

Hi Cathe--And a big welcome to you. Are you a new beginner quilter like me? My very first quilt was a mini wallhanging of The Old Man of the Mountain [I'm from NH] with MANY SMALL pieces. I'm looking forward to learning from this group.

Hi AnnMarie--I'm not reading anything at the moment but just finished " A Year in the Maine Woods" by Bernd Heinrich. My reading is eclectic with personal stories a favorite, some history and more than my share of mysteries. What do you like to read?
