New to the board, but not really. I've been reading it faithfully for 4 or 5 months, but just decided to join today. Like some of you I spend way to much time reading and drooling over the pictures instead of piecing quilts. But sure do have lots of new and really neat ideas for new quilts and purses. I have been sewing for about 40 years. so you can tell I'm no spring chicken. But just been piecing quilts the past 15 or so years. About 20 years I made purses out of naugahyde(? spelling) and sold. Probably sold 500 or 600 purses. Had to sell my long arm quilting machine last year because I was no longer able to use it because of my health. Am looking forward to getting to know each of you better.
