Hello from IL!
 

Hi all!
I'm Kelly and I'm from the western suburbs of Chicago.
I am new to the quilting world and totally addicted!
I have completed 4 quilts in the last 6 months and am working on my 5th. As soon as I can figure out how to upload pictures, I will post some!
I started with a disappearing 9 Patch for my 3 year old daughter, then a jelly roll stripey quilt out of Miss Kate for myself, after that a Cascade quilt for my husband and a brick style for my mom. I'm currently working on a Camille Roskelly pattern.

Some me of my favorite lines are Miss Kate, Geometric Bliss, and anything Joel Dewberry.

I'm 37 and a full time mom to two, an 8 month old son and a three year old daughter.

I'm glad to have found this site and can't wait to dive in!

Hello and welcome from northern California!

Welcome from Southern California!

Welcome from Central Ohio! Sounds like you have jumped in with both feet.

I started sewing for my dolls at 8 or 9 years old. I made my first quilt at 13 or 14 and haven't stopped since. I currently make at least 10 Linus quilts a month and quilt with our local Senior center. I make Princess Pillowcase dresses for missionary outreach and most recently started making little white dresses or shrouds for premature babies that died before or shortly after birth. I have a huge stash of fabric but can always find an excuse to buy more. For my own use or gifts for adults I do all hand quilting. For the Linus quilts I do basic machine quilting since they will likely be laundered at least monthly. I have kept at least a dozen quilts that I made and use them around the house on beds and to protect my furniture from our cat. Ironically I won a local guild's raffle quilt. While it is beautiful it is not my colors and is king size and way to big for my bed. I find quilting addictive and the perfect excuse to keep acquiring more fabric. My Mom was born and raised in Macomb, Illinois.

Welcome from Oklahoma. Glad to have you here.
