    Default Newbie in Illinois (near Chicago)

    Hello all,

    Thank you so much for allowing me to join the group. I am very new to quilting . . . I have been learning as much as I can on the internet but I must say, I am already addicted! I have been sewing for a while and am not quite sure why I never gave quilting a try. But I am definitely hooked. I look forward to learning more from all of the members here.

    Other hobbies of mine include refinishing furniture and working on vintage sewing machines! I have 2 treadle machines (one fully up and running, one still in the restoration process) and another frozen machine (a japanese clone) that I am hoping to fix up and convert to hand crank. I also have a featherweight which I cherish and baby! She is my favorite one to quilt with!

    Danielle in the suburbs of Chicago
