I looked around and read the posts by your members and you all sounded like a friendly group. This is something I need desperately right now is contact with nice people.

Then I met one of you on the chat room and decided to join you.

I live in Kansas and have been quilting for about 10 years.
I am the coordinator of the oldest quilt show in the State of Kansas. We are getting ready for our 37th year.
I love needle turn applique. Machine piecing is beautiful, but I just can't stay with it.

I started sewing when I was 6 and quilting when I was 46..
I completed several quilts and then lost them all along with my collection of about 300 antique quilts, tops, and sets of blocks (and fabric stash) about 4 years ago.

So, now there are only a couple of my quilts that exist today.

I have started my stash over, made a couple of new quilts, and started my collection anew.
Nice to meet you all.

I live in Baldwin City. I am 10 miles south of Lawrence.
Do you belong to that HUGE guild in Wichita.
They have some extremely talented girls.

I lived in Wichita for over 20 years before moving to Baldwin.
Didnt even know there was such a thing as a guilt guild then.

My loss......

Nice to meet you

Ooops, I just reread your post...
You dont live in Wichita, your kids and grand child do.. sorry.

I love Kentucky and want to go there for some (a lot) of genealogy research. I have people in just about every line that lived there between 1800-1840.

Love Berea, Renfro Valley, .....

Where in Kentucky are you?

Congrats on the table cloths.

Do you ever find quilt goodies at that thing? I have wanted to do that for a few years, but now gas prices are just tooooo high.
