Good Day from Australia
 

Hi, I am new to quilting and having some time off work has inspired me to have a go! I found The Curious Quilter this year, and was inspired by her charm swap - so I have been taken up with 2" fabric ever since. It was so exciting to get all the charms. I made a quillow a few years ago and loved it. I sorted my mother's house after her passing, & when I got to the the fabrics I was quite emotional (all those scraps from my dresses when I was growing up were there!) My mother was quite a cotton fan, so I inherited lots of really good quality cotton fabric! So I need to make a memory quilt at some time. I also enjoy candlewicking but am yet to complete a project so I have ufo's. I enjoy the journey of whatever craft I am doing.

My friend, djmat, suggested that I come over here to meet all you lovely people so here I am.

Happy Quilting

Howdy, dear friend. So glad you've introduced yourself. Welcome to the Board.:D We are going to have so much fun here. The folks here are sweet & so smart, they will help us learn faster & keep us from wasting fabric!
Hey, June 5th is the last day to sign up for a 2.5" charm swap here on QB. I've signed up for 30 sets now I need to get cutting. If you are interested go to the Member Swap Thread & look for June 2.5 swap. Off to find my rotary cutter. Hugs to you & yours!

Wish Quilts
 

I love the "Charming Addition" 2.5" Quilt I checked Fraew's earlier posts, from where she started. I really do like this - I can see why it is on your wish list. Their must be 4 pieces of each colour to make the cross. What a good idea. It is something I could easily put on my wish list - I think I could manage it!!!

Las Cruces is very intricate & looks like a lot of work to me!!! Being a raw beginner!! Love the way the crosses are done and it will be absolutely lovely - can also see why that is on your wish list - definitely something to aspire to.

Hugs Marie

Just think of the applique classes I'll need to take!

Hello and welcome from Minnesota! Glad you've joined us!! :)

Welcome from Spring, TX and enjoy yourself
