Hi,I've just registered with the forum,first time I've tried anything like this, hope I'm doing this right.I have been a patchwork/quilter for some years now but have never attempted a banner,any ideas please. I'm not so sure I've introduced myself, my forum name is Letty and I live in North Yorkshire, U.K. Many thanks ---I know quilters are a special breed, ever helpful and friendly:O )

Hi, Letty. Welcome to the board. I've never done a banner, but I'll bet there's somebody out there who has. Good luck and keep tuning in. We're glad to have you.

Hello Letty and welcome to the friendliest place on the net! I'm Karen and I live down the motorway in the friendliest county in the UK..... South Yorkshire! (you'll probably disagree) lol!

Hello Letty, I live just up the road near Hartlepool. at this rate the Brits will be taking over the board :mrgreen:

Hi Karen, truth to tell I'm not a Yorkshire woman having lived here only nineteen years ! Still I love it and I'm so happy to be here,its where I learnt to sew.I was 50yrs old before I discovered the joy of patchwork and I have made so many friends through the craft,even passing on what skill I have and seeing others come to love it.I'm not sure I'm so popular with husbands ! I've been told by some that their wives have developed strange habits and an ever stranger language,one asked " what ever is a fat quarter?"I'll own up now,not sure what part of South Yorkshire you come from but I hail from the home of Robin Hood-----Nottingham. Thanks to all for your welcome messages Letty

Hello BJ, I have a copper p[laque in my breakfast room, It reads
" Patchwork for ever,Housework--- whenever. Oh so true, Letty

I'm about 13 miles from Sheffield ...not far from the Nottinghamshire border (three of my kids live in Notts)
The question is Letty...can you make a decent Yorkshire pudding? lol!

OOh Yes, that is unless I tell dinner guests how easy it is ---well you know the saying, "Pride comes before a fall" in those cases all too often my yorkshire pudding! Letty
