Hi neighbor, I am right off Rt. 218. Thanks for saying hello. What kind of quilting do you enjoy best?

Welcome from Oklahoma. I love the story about the cats. Mine always want to test mine before they are finished. Be sure to show us some pictures.

I'm much less experienced than you with only 1+ years of quilting/sewing experience (started after retirement) and have made several totes, duffels, home decor items and am currently working on my 5th quilt. I've completed a few simple lap quilts, an over-sized Bonnie Hunter ORL mystery (there's a great thread on here with lots of participants & pictures) and am in the process of binding a modern queen for my adult son. I'm still in the "I want to try everything" mode and plan to try a collage and an EPP (La Passacaglia) in the near future. After the ORL I feel I can accomplish anything

I see you like scrappy, Bonnie Hunter style quilting. And paper piecing - where did you take classes for that technique? I'm interested as that will be my next big challenge. What library are you teaching at? I've been to the Crazy Cousin a few times but since I'm a little closer to Richmond, I usually head that way vs. F'burg. I certainly will be up your way the end of September for the Expo!

Honestly, I'm continuously inspired by the gorgeous finished work shared on this forum - that, and the incredible amount of information shared by so many talented, veteran quilters has been invaluable to me. Always admiring and learning on here - I hope you enjoy the forum just as much. Be sure to join in the great discussions and post pictures - we all love pictures here!

Welcome from Sperryville, VA. I participate in the Project Linus group which is based in the Fredericksburg area. You've come to the right place for lots of inspiration. Such talented folks here!

No... I don't live there. My son and daughter-in-law do. Have you ever heard of Del-Ray fabrics in Alexandria? I would love to go to Falls Church some day where Jinny Beyer is- I love her work.
