Welcome from Idaho, a Calif. transplant

This is a friendly place. Too bad some people think they need to be mean. I remember my very first baby quilt I made to give away and it was just hideous but fortunately my friend didn't tell me - I learned that all on my own. And she is still one of my best friends.

Welcome from Shasta County. Come on in, sit a spell, the bug will bite you again and you'll find lots and lots of inspiration here, as well as support, advice and encouragement. Glad you found us!

Welcome from a fellow Californian! Hopefully we will keep you motivated and encouraged to keep on quilting! You won't get any negative here-only encouragement!

Welcome from the OC.
