quilterfly

HI! I'm Sharon & I joined about 2 weeks ago, but have been "lurking". Today I saw a topic I just HAD to get into. I live in Tulsa, my sister & I are members of Muskogee Area Quilters Guild because we're from Muskogee & know everybody there. We also have a Gamill long-arm purchased about 15 years ago. We haven't updated it because we still enjoy quilting the old way. I paid for my share of the machine by quilting for others, but stopped when I found I wasn't doing any quilting for myself. My sister still does some quilting for others & we both quilt for our guild charity programs. I've been a quilter since I was a teenager, but really got involved in the late 70's when you couldn't find 100% cotton anywhere. So I'm not new to quilting but still consider myself a beginner sometimes. There's always something new to learn. I have fallen in love with "One Block Wonder" & purchased fabric for 3 more before I've even finished my first. Certainly hope I don't run out of enthusiasm before I make all of them. So glad to join the board. I've been reading various topics & you all sound like very nice, friendly, helpful people.
