Hello from the Cotswolds
 

Hello Everyone
I just popped over here as mention was made of this forum on my Facebook newsfeed, and it looks like a fun place to be, so I joined up at once. I was a quilter in the 90s, and moved over to machine embroidery, and then paper crafts when I was homeschooling, as it takes up less time (but not room). A friend asked me to help her to begin quilting a few weeks ago, and I got so fired up, I have pieced some tops, bought some books and fabric....and haven't found time to get together with my friend yet! (Too busy quilting!). I am very excited about the new fabric ranges and the lovely colours, and think I may well be a Jelly Roll addict!
Oh yes, my name is Kate. I live in Gloucestershire, England, with my lovely husband, three daughters and six chickens. One of my girls is at uni in North Wales, so I am feeling my age a bit these days. I am looking forward to making some fabulous new quilting friends. Lovely to meet you all.

Oh, I'm so jealous! The Cotswolds is the one place I really want to visit someday. Welcome to the group; you'll love it!

Thanks for the great welcome everyone! I had a bit of a disastrous quilting day on Wednesday, so did a little embroidery yesterday, and will work on my little hexagons until I feel a bit better!

Hi Kate & welcome, from Co Louth, in Ireland.
I started my married life in the Royal Forest of Dean, so have very fond memories of my two children growing up in that area, and my daughter (40ish) remembers the Forest being a magical place for children to grow up in.
We moved over to Ireland in 2000. So you are still just a chicken with one girl off to Uni !!!
Enjoy.
