Are you Quilter? If you are then you are welcome. Show your stuff! This board is great!!!

WOW! Wish my "first quilt" was as awesome as this! LOL Great color choices and very pretty, no matter who's bed it was on, would look great! I need to get off this couch, stop looking and start DOING something in the sewing room this am! Welcome aboard from souther IL!

i am in awe of your first quilt. great job, and what dedication. i am a firm believer in keeping it simple to start with, that way the project gets finished. 4 patches, 9 patches, log cabins, etc. my two grdsns just collaborated on a queen quilt at xmas last yr. and i have another grdsn who is 26 who wants to learn to quilt.
and of course you are welcome here. you guys show us ladies up real regular.

Welcome to the Quilting Board Randy. You won't find a better place to hang out and can't wait to be a part of your quilting journey. We here on the board are like one big family. There is no gender or age restriction here....so have fun and enjoy......

Hello totally. Of course you're welcome here. The more the merrier. Some of the best sewer [tailors] are men. Why not. I hope you enjoy this place. These people are the most helpful, kindest on this earth.

Remember us when your on TV and teaching, like Ricky Tims. Welcome from mid-Missouri. Love both your quilts.

Welcome to the board! Some of the best quilt shows I've been to (like in Sisters, Oregon) have entire sections dedicated to male quilters -- and their quilts are always different and wonderful! You did a great job on your quilt - can't wait to see what you do next!

I used to feel the same way about the quilting part...in my case it was the fear of messing up the top which I had worked so carefully on. But once I got up the courage to plunge in and quilt (in the ditch) I got so excited to see it turn into a "real quilt" rather than just a pieced fabric. Even now, I have to get into the mood to go into quilting mode. Once I'm ready, I love the quilting too. I haven't done FMQ yet on anything but practice sandwiches, and I also just took a hand quilting class which was a lot of fun. Give yourself time. You'll get to love each aspect of the craft. I've only been quilting for about 4 years.
Welcome:)

Welcome Randy from south central Ohio. Your quilt is beautiful as well as your wall hanging. Glad to have you join us.

Welcome! Can't imagine why you wouldn't be welcomed. Always need a fresh and new opinion and who knows, you might turn out to be the greatest designer and give us all wonderful ideas...Look forward to pictures..
