Hello ManQuilter & welcome from NE Alabama. Yes, we have a lot of conversation & one of my favorite men on the Board is Eddie from Arkansas, who has made 25 plus quilts since last May when he started. Look above to find the Search Button in the second row, go there & type in Eddie. You'll see some of his posts & his beautiful quilts. We're all real proud of him, as you will read. There are other men, too, so I'm sure they'll be posting if they see this. There are a lot of us women folk in all age ranges. Skill levels vary, but the intent of this Board is to give each other support, make each other feel welcome & make suggestions when another Member asks. Lots of quilters will post pics when they're having problems & ask for help & ideas. There are different swaps, Block of the Month Club info, etc. Take a tour & you'll catch on quick. Nice to have you.
