No, I am not in a guild, although there is one in my town. I was working nights and having kids for the past few years and did not have time for it. I am thinking about joining now, though.

My mom, sister, aunt and cousins all quilt on some level, though, so I have grown up around it and I have them for "company". I also have lured one of my friends over to the "dark side" and she has even started a stash already! She made her first quilt this fall and did a great job.

Those are really nice! Welcome to the board.

Lisa, Your quilts are all three lovely. I would have kept that center one for myself also! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. By all means post your Flickr link. We'll be looking forward to more pictures.

Beautiful Quilts - glad you kept the one that you did (the appliqued one)

You have done a wonderful job on all three, and the cherries are

looking good!

Thank you all so much. Here is my Flickr link. I have all the individual blocks for the cherry quilt posted on there.

I am headed "home" for the weekend and my one goal is to get the cherry quilt put together. I always like to lay out my quilts at my mom's house because she has a loft overlooking her living room. So we can lay out a quilt on the floor, then go upstairs and see it from above. It really lets you see if you have any "messups". If I have to do it at home, I take a picture and then look at the picture, but it's more fun at Mom's house! :P

I wasn't sure on the policy with links and such. I also have a quilting blog through which I have met some awesome people. I think if you click on my profile the link should show up. I list the blogs that I regularly read on the side and some of them are SO cool! I have met some awesome new quilter friends that way and gotten some GREAT inspiration. There are some unbelievable quilts on the internet that I would never have seen otherwise.

Your cherry blocks are great! I made a few cherry blocks for a chicken quilt a few years back. I like the idea of all cherries. I think I need to add this to my 'to-do' list. I'm enjoying looking at your other quilt pictures. Thanks for posting your link.

Welcome from Wa.... I love your quilts :D

All of them are pretty. My favorite is the first one, love the colors, it reminds me of New Mexico.
