very warm welcome to a fellow Canadian. I am from south western Ontario, and there are a few of us on here. I too started out as a cross stitcher and still am active with that. http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/24943.page this link is my thread to my cross stitch activities.

Hello Jen, very nice work. I also did XS a few years ago, but since I decided to start my Small Sewing Business, I haven't had time. Love the tea dyed look w/black. I know venturing out into quilting might be a bit scary; however, it is all done in sections & blocks. Read, read, read until you get familiar with quilting terms, look at the tutorials on this Board & lots Free on Internet. I'm in NE Alabama & we having quilting shows that are broadcast by PBS every Sat afternoon. Lots of well known quilters who publish their own magazines. They are great quilters. You can find lots of free quilt patterns if you Google search. You can print them out and get started on a new project. Quilterscache.com is a great site & other quilters here have tons of sites they will share. Good luck.

Welcome from Michigan.
My dad was from Cardiff and my mom was from Rhos. As I frequently tell people, I'm American made with Welsh parts. I spent several months in New Market, England when my daughter was living there for 3 years while in service. We were able to take a week and go visit our Welsh roots but that just made me want to come back and spend at least a month there. Beautiful, gorgeous country and so full of history. I love it.
This board is a great place to ask questions, get help and great ideas. Ask away.
