Default Hello from NC

I just joined up too. I was searching for Dog paper piecing patterns and this site came up . I decided to join up.

I'm married and have one son in college. I work outside the home and my hobbies are reading, scrapbooking, card making and quilting. I also like working in my flower beds.

I'm fortunate to have a local quilting store...actually have several within an hour of me. My local one is 5 min away :-).

I have several quilting projects underway... with my LQS ... about to finish up a Christmas BOM, in the middle of a Stash Buster BOM, just started a Star BOM, and take classes as they interest me.
We finished up the Asteria BOM in February but I don't have it completely put together yet. It takes time and energy and I don't always have a lot of it - lol.

On my own, I'm working on some paper piecing projects for family Christmas presents. And just bought an Owl pattern to make for a baby quilt for my first great-niece/nephew that is on the way.


I have a small Juki quilting machine and only like to quilt small things with it. one of the LQS that is about 40 minutes from me has a long arm they rent. It's in my plans to take their class for using it next month and start quilting on it - I can't wait!!!

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here.

Welcome from Southern California. I hope you find as much inspiration as I do from this board. Hope my Google search will help you find a PP lab. They are such fun loving dogs.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. Not PP but a cute pattern is Dog Daze, I think it was a free pattern from Fons & Porter Love of Quilting magazine.

Welcome from Vermont. In the 50's can you imagine that a Yankee like me used to spend summers in North Carolina looping tobacco....I was in High School. You will love this site.
