Hello everyone from England. I was introduced to your wonderful site by another newbie Billswife :D
I have pottered around ( I hope thats ok) and I love what I see :D YOu are all so friendly and supportive, my kind of people :D
Ok a little about me. Hmmmmmm not much to tell really, I am Fair ( blonde) Fat and Fifty lol. I used to work with children with behavioural and physical difficulties but don't work any more. I have three wonderful daughters of my own and three step daughters with my partner Steve, from whom I have five step grandkids :) I also have a wonderful dog called Jay Jay.
I am not a very experienced quilter but I love to play nicely with the fabric :)
Looking forward to getting to know some of you

Ninnie

Welcome from a comparative newbie in Ireland. I am an exile from Norfolk UK, and now living in this relative quilting desert.

Hello, and welcome from Missouri, in the middle of the US. :lol:

Hi and welcome from Indiana!!

Greetings from fake-red, fat and 51 in Sacramento CA. We should have a club. Welcome to the QB :lol:

Okay. We really do need a club. I'm a fake ash blond, fat and 51. Who's gonna be the president?

Welcome to you, Buggy!

Welcome from Southern California. I fit in (fair, fat but not quite 50) except the age I'm only 48.

Ahahaha! I am only 33, but I think I'm extra-fat enough to make up for it. LOL! Can I join?
(And I have enough roots in my hair to prove that point.)

JK! Welcome aboard from Upper Michigan! This is a fun board and a great place to find like-minded (fabric freaks) people.

*Waves from Iowa* :)

Hello and Welcome :D :D :D

Welcome from NE CA. Glad you joined us.

Hi and welcome from a New Englander.

Hi buggalugs - when I saw the name I THOUGHT you were from that neck of the woods - my Mum has always called me that when she's annoyed with me. Her family are from Yorkshire (Idle, Bradford) but moved over the Pennines when my Mum was 11. I was born in Blackpool! I always say I'm a pink rose - half red, half white LOL!

Welcome, you'll love it here! Are you an OBW fan like your lovely friend, Jenell?

Ya daft ha'porth! :lol: you don't need a lot of nerve! I'm a complete novice at machine piecing and if you follow the book step by step, it's not that hard - anyway the busy pattern hides all your mistakes! I'm nowhere near Jenell's standard though and so far have only done two with the hexs - am plucking up the courage to try the octogons! :shock: How did you two 'meet up', as there's an ocean between you? I guess online? Isn't it wonderful the way we can communicate with quilters all over the world?! :D

Loretta - you are SUCH an anglophile :D :D :D But if we take up your idea, we better say from Great Britain, otherwise we leave out Elle, Izy and Ellie May for a start! :wink:

Welcome from Roscoe, Illinois!

welcome from Florida...everybody knows where Florida is, bc we stick out! Everybody thinks we are all tourist attractions, orange trees, and white sandy beaches...well, besides that, we are flat landed, have insects and crawlies galore, and mossy, mossy trees..not all palms on postcards, LOL!
this is a fun thread...like all the fat and fifites being thrown around, with all the fake hair colors, LOL!!! We do describe ourselves in the most flattering of terms, don't we?
well, I'm a little fluffy, past the fifty point, but nothing fake...anymore.
I don't know how attractive I am, but get enough of my beautiful grandbabies in pics around me, and makes me look, very blessed! I am!
It's so much fun to be on a board with ppl from all over!
K, surprised you call yourself a pink rose, lol, didn't think you cared that much for pink. Pink roses are among my favorites, guess they appeal to Hans too!!! :XD:

Welcome from WA :D

C - the red rose is the symbol of Lancashire, where I was born and the white rose is the symbol of Yorkshire, where my mother's family is from, so I'm a hybrid! The War of the Roses united in one body! :lol:

so that explains...you! LOL! used to be a war inside, finally settling down and integrating. I think that's me too, but don't know what color that would be... :roll:

Now didn't I tell you this was a fun place? :D I see you have met Kathryn, we will have to see if Milica will join us here since she is in France half the time.

Jacqui and I met on another quilting site. We started quilting just about the same time so we have helped each other along in several of our projects, she helps me more than I help her. We have been fast friends ever since and I wouldn't trade her for anything! [img]http://bestsmileys.com/love2/20.gif[/img]

I am grey, fat, and sixty three today, am I too old for this club?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACELADY!!!

We'll let you be "president" of our club -- OK??

C - the Wars of the Roses were fought between Lancaster and York for the throne of England http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses they didn't REALLY rage inside me! :mrgreen:

Oh yes, I leapt all over her like a labrador puppy! :D

Happy birthday Lacelady! :D

ok, Lacelady, are you grey and fat and 63 today, and going to be something else, tomorrow, lol? OR
is today your birthday????? :D

Oh boy you ladies make me giggle lol :D
Jacqui

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LACELADY!!!! :D
