Hi,

I've been lurking on this board for weeks and finally decided to join. I've been sewing since I was 14. Mostly garment sewing. I got into quilting in a big way after I retired from nursing. My goal is to make a quilt for all our kids, grandkids, and greats. My husband has 6 kids, 15 grands, and 10 greats with 2 more on the way. I have 2 kids and 12 grandkids. Total of 47. The greats get a crib quilt at birth. They are done. And I have 20 of the rest finished.

I've drifted more to a landscape type of quilt. I love pictorial quilts. Could spend hours looking at quilts online and often do so.

I feel as if I know most of you by reading your introductions and your posts. You sound like a busy bunch of quilters.

Hi and welcome from the South Plains of Texas. Glad to have you with us. Don't know when you find time to compute with so many quilts to get done :) :)

How about this link, if I do it right. I don't have the 9 quilts I have made this year on my webshots yet. I need to finish the bindings and then they will be ready to gift.
