Hi everyone
I stumbled upon this message board today as I found our own website was getting a lot of traffic from you folks this week! (despite it being July a lot of you want to know how to make your own Christmas stockings!)
I run a website (along with 3 great friends) dedicated to sharing our passion for living creatively and sustainably - whether that's making your own jam, salvaging an old chair from a dump and giving it new life, or knitting, sewing, quilting etc
As we're based in the UK we're not as well versed as our American cousins in the art of quilting - but there are loads of us over here desperate to learn. (see my recent piece on my visit to the Quilting exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum - http://www.makeitandmendit.com/2010/...lts-at-the-va/
Anyway I hope to learn lots from all of you about quilting and look forward to making my first quilt

Welcome to the board from Minnesota! Glad to have you with us!

Welcome from Texas! I love reading posts from people who live in other countries. It reinforces how small the world really is. We would love to see pictures of your work, whether it's quilting or something else. I love trying to recycle as much as possible, to the extent that sometimes my house looks like a dump because I can't bear to throw something away that I think someone might be able to use!

Hello and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Glad you joined us :lol:

You will learn lots here :thumbup:

I haven't made a quilt yet - and can't post picture yet of any knitting as lost all my picture files (I was having a stupid day and pressed delete) but here's a pic of where I live so you get some idea of my life (obviously taken in winter - it's a riot of roses now!). I'll get the camera out after the weekend and make some pics of work projects

Thanks - everyone seems very helpful and friendly here. Looking forward to learning lots!
