Hi everyone. I feel like I already know a lot of you as I've been lurking for a couple of months. ADDICTIVE!! That's putting it mildly! I have learned so much that I thought I should get on board!! I don't feel like I qualify as a real "quilter" as I have only tied my quilts and throws so far. I have a LOT to learn. I've made 3 quilts and 20+ throws since I started about 4 years ago. I got my start then by joining the quilters at church. There are 7 of us and we meet every Thursday morning. There are 2 of us that piece the tops at home and the rest is done at church. In 2008 I made 52 tops as I set a goal of 1 a week. We usually turn in about 100 a year to Lutheran World Relief. I'm glad to be here and really have enjoyed reading and seeing all of the beautiful quilts gals and guys have made.
