I belong to a quilt club in West Virginia, in the panhandle. Our name is Panhandle Piecemakers. We have been a club since 1984. We have about 20 members and we meet once a month.
We also sponsor an annual quilt show at the John D Rockefeller Career Center in New Cumberland, WV. The show this year is June 13, 14. If anyone reading this is interested, please come and visit us, we'd love to have you.
Thank you for letting me say hello. I hope to hear from some of you soon.
P.S. I'm also looking for low fat and low sugar recipes. I'm diabetic and need these kinds of recipes to eat. Thanks again
Hi Cheryl and welcome! I remember well my first few quilts, which were cut out with scissors. One was a 'Trip Around the World' and when I think of all those squares I cut out, each with a square template cut from cardboard that got smaller and smaller after several hundred uses. :roll: I'm with you, thank God for the rotary cutter and mat! Especially now that I'm older and have all sorts of wrist problems.
You'll want to check out the Recipe part of this Forum. You'll find all sorts of helpful recipes over there and you can always post asking for everyone's favorite
sugar-free recipes. I'll keep my eye out for any recipes I use that are safe for diabetics. I've got Celiac Disease and am allergic to the entire Benzene series, plus I'm not supposed to have dairy or sugar ('supposed' being the operative word) so I feel your pain when it comes to finding good recipes. Good luck and again, welcome!
