I have been receiving the newsletter from here for almost a year now and it has taken me all this time to register, well, here I am.
I retired last year and finally bought myself a sewing machine and a little bit of fabric :roll: . My son moved out so I was able to turn his bedroom into a sewing room, but I'm sure its some sort of magic place. I could swear I only ever put about 2 yards of fabric in there and its grown all by itself :shock:. I'm really enjoying my new hobbie and I seem to learn something new every day. At the moment I'm pysching myself up to have a go at the one block wonder quilt but first I must finish the crumb quilt I started the other week, oh yes, and also the log cabin blocks, and then there is the scrappy string quilt, and the crazy patchwork wall hanging. I think perhaps I need some more fabric?????

Welcome from Western Pennsylvania. Isn't it amazing how a small pile of fabric grows and how many ideas are running around in our brains?

Hi Irish, welcome from California, in the High Desert. You'll love it here, be sure to join in some of the block swaps!

Irishlady 04-04-2010 02:27 AM

Just to say thank you for the warm welcome. As to pictures of my work!!! Perhaps in the future when it improves.

In answer to Lacelady, yes, I am an Irish exile in the UK, originally from Cork City, although I've lived here for just over 50 years now I still think of Ireland as home.

Kitsie 04-06-2010 03:01 PM

I can relate! Welcome here! I live alone (daughter and family in other house of property) so my kitchen is my quilt room! I never have to put anything away, can see the TV by craning my neck and look out onto a horse pasture! I started like you - bought old, used machine (luckily it is a dandy), a pattern book, some fabric and off I went!
