Hey girl, check your email, my address is there and I am so jazzed, can't wait to get a package from you, but please let me trade you for something I may have that you are looking for. And I would be blessed to receive a block from you and it will have a place of honor in my quilt. You are amazing....write soon and follow Becky's advice and keep that foot up, it should be good for at least a week of uninterruped sewing...and that driver deserved to go to jail, just sorry you got hurt....take care and I will write again tomorrow...later, Janie

Welcome Janie! Sounds like you are a wonderfully creative soul! I started quilting about, oh, 14 years ago, taking an Adult Education class...and I'm still taking the same class!! There are a few of us that have been there together for that long too. We have a lot of fun!
I also belong to a quilt guild - TLC Quilters - and am the treasurer for the Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds. Quilters are the best people - caring, creative, nurturing and FUN! Good luck with your quilting!

hey zyx,,,
Good to hear from you. Wherebouts are you in Southern California. I grew up in Westminster, CA and went to Golden West College for a short time, but since have lived all over. I have settled forever now here in Oregon, as the friends I have made here are the most incredible I've ever known. It is amazing how quilting and quilting friends feed our soul isn't?

Hi Janie - I'm in Walnut - about 20 miles east of LA. I'm a third generation Californian, my Mom was born here, as well as Dad & HIS Mom! We're actually on to the 5th generation (at least) now too! One of my sisters lives in Northern Calif., south of San Francisco, and the other one lives in Australia, but is in the process of selling & coming back here. I have 1 niece, 2 nephews, and 6 great nieces & nephews! Whew!
I too have a great group of friends, some since the 5th grade even. When we were emptying out Mom's house a coupld month's ago (she's moved into assisted living now), my friend Bill came to help, along with my nephew & his daughter who is 7. She was asking about family, & I explained to her that some of our family we are born into, and some, like Bill, we CHOOSE to be in our family. She thought that was pretty neat (me too!). That's how my quilting friends are too - part of my CHOSEN family. Well, That was a ramble, wasn't it? I'd better get back to work! lol

Hey, Janie Here
I've been at my girlfriends all weekend to celebrate a babyshower for her DIL. Shower was Sunday and the baby, a little boy named Samuel was born at 4:00 something this morning. But have been away from the computer for a good reason. Just here catching up with friends. I will have some pics here soon of things I worked on over the weekend. Need to recharge my rechargable batteries in the camera so I can use it.
xyz...i know right were Walnut is, I dated someone from t here a hundred years ago. California got too big for me. Think I should have been a country girl born a generation ago. I too have a sister in Australia and my baby sis is in Garden Grove, as is her children and their families....small world with the internet isn't it....

Hello I am also from Oregon but am planning to move to NY. I also have MS and spend most of my time spoiling my cat and Quilting. I think this website is one of the best. I know I can find all the information I need.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Kearon :P

Hello from NY, glad to have you. Where in NY are you going?
This is a great site, I,m sure you'll love it. Feel free to ask or answer questions, and do post some picture of your projects.

Thanks for the reply Ruth. I will be moving to Bativia, NY when the roads clear a little. Yes this site has already been very helpful.
