Hi everyone. My name is Debra and go by sewdebra. I've been quilting for about 20 years. I don't get to quilt as much as I would like but when my oldest daughter gets married at the end of May and moves out of the house, I will make her room into a sewing room. I can hardly wait to get rid of her.lol Just kidding. I'm a correctional officer for the State of Texas and quilting is great therapy, believe me. I've really enjoyed looking at all the pictures posted and I'll stop in when I can. Until then.
Happy Quilting
:)

Welcome from Ireland. You will love it here. Everybody is so nice and helpful.

Thank you. Love your quilt that is your avatar. I will have to get my daughter to help me put a picture up of one of my quilts.

Welcome, Sewdebra. What's your city? I'm in central Texas too.

Welcome - another Texas here. :D

Hello fellow Texans! Good to meet you. I live in Brownwood,Tx. Population of about 20,000 or so. We will be having a Quilt Show at the Brownwood Coliseum, April 24-25th. Ya'll should try and come see the quilts. I'm so excited, I can hardly wait for the show. I use to go to all the quilt shows within a 300 miles radius but have been in bad health recently, but better now, and have not been able to go to the quilt shows. I use to always go to the Dallas Quilt Show. Sure have missed seeing all the beautiful quilts.

GO TEXAS! GO TEXAS!

We must be the quilting-est state in the union.

WELCOME!

lol That's great, nice to see another Texan.

Hi Debra,

Welcome from Kansas. I have a loved one in that field, yes I can imagine the therapy that is needed. I know what you mean about your daughter. When she moved out, I took over the room and it was great, just one problem. I MISSED her so much. Now I have my stuff in my room again, she is not coming home. :( She is very happy though, I just really miss her.

Take care

welcome sewdebra from central texas too.love the board and been on it daily

welcome, sewdebra! I live in Arlington. When is the Dallas show? I work a lot of hours so don't get much time to quilt. I would have a lot more time if I didn't spend so long on this site. I don't even open it up if I can't go to all the letters and drool. The talent here is so awesome.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. We had our 6th annual quilt show this weekend in Brownwood, Tx. Wish you could have all come to it. I had a great time and bought way too much fabric. I can't remember who asked about the Dallas Quilt show but it was in March. I didn't get to go though. There is a quilt show in Abilene, I think it is the first weekend in June. I won't be able to go to it either as I have to go back to work after my daughters wedding. Work sure does get in the way of quilting.lol

Hello,sewdebra........I am new at this,but am anxious to meet other quilters who love quilting as much as I do.I am 85 years
old, wheelchair bound,but am still able to get my wheelchair up to my cutting table and sewing machine. I was born and raised in Central Texas and have lived in Houston the last sixty years. Would like to hear from some of my co-quilters. Til then ..have a nice day.
