Hi all. I've been "lurking" and finally got the courage to say hello. I live in Anchorage, Alaska. Many, many years ago, before rotary cutters were invented, I tried quilting. I didn't care for cutting the fabric pieces with scissors but did enjoy hand quilting my small projects. Eventually I moved on to another hobby (counted cross-stitch). I took a class at my LQS in November of 2008. OMG, I'm hooked: love the fabrics, patterns, tools, sewing machines, threads,....you name, I've got to have it. Thank goodness my husband never asks me what's in the bag when I come home from shopping. Of course he would have a fit if he knew just how much I've spent on my new addiction. LOL BTW, I have a 9 year old son, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 big sweetie who lets me enjoy my hobby. Thanks for listening. Juli

Hi and welcome from Washington state. You'll love it here and will soon be as addicted as the rest of us are. We look forward to seeing your finished projects. We love pictures.

Alaska Members- I will be cruising to Alaska and will have time in Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, and Juneau - are there quilt shops near the dock used by the Cruise Ships?
