Hi - I would also like to introduce myself. I am Barbara Raisbeck, owner of Quilts by Barb. I do quilting as my full time profession. I do long arm machine quilting, sell quilts and quilt related items on Etsy, - http://Quiltsbybarb.etsy.com - do custom orders of quilts from scratch and host a Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekend each fall in Wisconsin.
I am enjoying reading through some of the posts here and do hope to actively participate. Glad I just happened upon the Quilting Board.

Thanks for the compliment. Etsy is a fun sight and a great place to buy the unusual. I really like an outlet such as Etsy for my quilts.

Welcome Barb, I'm new here as well and am enjoying it a lot. I'd love to come to your retreat, but it's a loooong way from California!
I love your face quilt, what is the pattern please, if it has a name?
Hey y'all, I brought lemon cookies an they're still warm!!

I am not sure what you mean by my "face quilt." Do you mean the one on my side bar?

Also, welcome to you, too. I haven't been on here for a couple of days but do thy to get here when I have time.

Let me know about the face quilt and I will try to answer your questions.
