I am a Brit living in North Carolina (previously Maryland, Italy and England) Love to do art quilts and also do commissions for people. Commissions are mainly repairs and making quilts or finishing quilt tops.
My passion is art quilts though and all the different techniques. Would love to talk to other art quilters for tips, inpirations etc. Looking forward to talking to other quilters.

Welcome Britgirl. I am also from North Carolina - 20 miles east of Charlotte. Where are you at? You will enjoy this board, a LOT of nice quilters and a lot of great information.

Hi, what a nice surprise to get such a fast answer! I live in wilmington and have been here for 5 years.

I was born in Northwich, Cheshire and then moved to Stow-on-the-Wold. I still miss it even though I have been in the States for 30+ yearsl. :D

Where are you from and how long have you been here?

Hi and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Everyone here is wonderful and you will enjoy it very much... By the way we love pictures :wink:

Thanks for you reply. I am looking forward to meeting people.

I was actually born here in NC (Davidson County), lived in Jax, Fl for 16 years and moved back in 1976 - been in Stanfield, (Stanly Co.) ever since. Like I said we are about 20 miles east of Charlotte.

Welcome from FL. I lived outside of Raleigh years ago, the people were so nice there! Love art quilts, too. Do you have pictures of your stuff?

Greetings from Sacramento CA. We have an Art quilt group in our guild and I always admire their creativity.

Welcome to the board. I am in NC as well just outside our capital city. :)

Hi Britgirl and welcome from Georgia. It is nice to have you with us.

Hi and welcome! I loved visiting the Cotswolds. Stow-in-the-Wold was absolutely charming. What a delightful place to be FROM.

Hello and welcome from Wisconsin!

Forgot to mention that I spend the winter in Tucson and the rest of the year in CT. Stopped doing winter 10 years ago.

Welcome from East Tennessee.

And a warm welcome from Colorado (even though is snowing at the moment and not so warm). I'm not familiar with NC, but have a cousin that moved from Tennessee to Cedar Grove (???by Raleigh???) NC. This is really a great site -- the nicest people I have come across on-online.

Hi and welcome from the middle of North Carolina! Ninnie in NC

Welcome from St. Louis, Missouri.

Hi, Carolina Quilter! My husband and I just came back from babysitting one of our grandbabies, in Savannah. We stopped in Charlotte on the way home . . . really liking the Lake Norman area. My husband will soon be retiring, and we liked the area. While our children were raised in the Atlanta area, they have all settled in the NE. We don't tolerate the cold so well anymore. How do you like living in NC? Have a great day!

Hello and welcome Britgirl,
I live in the Kannapolis area of this beautiful state.
Hope to see some of your art quilts.
This is a great place to fellowship and learn.
Have a wonderfully blessed day.
Deara

Brit, In case someone hasn't told you there is a fabulous quilt and fabric store called MaryJo's in Gastonia. Ask around and someone will be able to tell you directions. They have every kind of fabric from cottons to silks, stains,etc that you might like to use for your art quilts.

lass,

Thank you for recommending MaryJo's, in Gastonia, NC. My husband and I are considering retiring to the Charlotte area. I checked out MaryJo's website . . . phenominal!

Welcome from Lynchburg, VA

Welcome Britgirl. You will really like the folks here. I am a Brit. Was born and grew up near Chester, on the Wirral Peninsular. I have lived in S.C. for a little over 50 years, but still miss Cheshire. Good to have you here with us.

Hello from Washington. I hope you share some of your work. I have never done an art quilt, but at our quild quilt show and at the meeting last night, I saw some interesting quilts.
