Hello all.
I'm very new to quilting, so I'm creeping in. I've finished one very basic quilt (almost!), and threw together a school house block, but haven't done anything with it. I've always loved looking at quilts, but was scared to try. I never thought I could.
I'm pleased to have found this forum - do you have members from anywhere other than the US?
I'm planning on some sort of house quilt next, building up the block I've done - have you a thread somewhere on house quilts?
It's lovely to find a dedicated quilting forum.

We are from all over the world. There are some here from France, Australia, New Zealand, England, Iceland, just to name the ones I've seen. I believe there about 12,000 registered here. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong!)

I'm from Iowa, welcome! :-D There is a wealth of information in all these minds.

Oh you will love it here! So many wonderful and talented people. Ask any questions and they will certainly be answered. Welcome from the middle of the U. S.
Kearney, Nebraska!

Thank you for a lovely hello. :)
I've lurked a little, but not yet seen any locations other than the US, so that's good to hear you have members from all over. I've only ever been on one forum, and that's fairly small, so I thought it was time I branched out. It's a bit scary coming onto such a big forum. :D

I was lurkin and lookin but now I'm nosey and enjoying some really great people and making things I never thought possible.......enjoy this site. Ruth

Hi and welcome. Glad to have you with us.

Yes, we are from all over. Jordan, South Africa, Japan, and Guam are all represented here. Most of the states are covered, too.

It's a great place to hang out.

We're so glad you joined! There's also a quilter in Japan and a couple in Norway, Scotland, Wales and Spain. Let's not forget our friend on "the pebble" as she likes to call it, in Guam.

My hubby's family is from the Cozad area, we are looking at buying our retirement home near you, Kearney, Grand Island, somewhere along the interstate!

Waving at you from Oregon!
There are great people here. Welcome!

Goody, someone from England. Hello. :D

Hello from Ohio----you will love this site---a lot of very talented people and always willing to help. What part of England? My son, who also quilts, lives in Croydon, Surrey Your country is fabulous--I visited 2 years ago and cannot wait to go back.

Hi and welcome from Oklahoma.

Hi fktsewing, Hi Sarah...
How funny, I was born in Croydon! :-D I now live in another part of Surrey. Does your son post pics of his quilts on here? And presumably he could advise on Surrey quilting shops? What a small world it is. I've visited Ohio, but a long long time ago. A school friend moved back to Cincinnati (oops, :oops: I'm sure it's not spelt that way) when we were still at school. This was eons ago therefore and I've long since lost touch unfortunately.

Hi from Michigan. You will love this site. I can't remember how I found it but I'm sure glad I did. Everyone is so helpful and it is great to see how many talented people there are. welcome.

Hi - welcome to the site from the deep south of New Zealand.

Love this statement - deep South of New Zealand. I have never thought about this. Hello to you from the American south.
We Southern girls must think on similar lines.

Haha, well, I guess I'm from the deep south of England, so lots of southerners! :D

Must be something special about us Southern girls no matter what country.

Hi Sewgull, deep south means that I cant get much further south or will fall off the last piece of land before the South Pole! lol. enjoy this board , they are a wonderful bunch of people. cheers

Quiltykiwi please don't fall off. I also live on the coast. I love the ocean.
