Hi everyone,
my name is Pauline and I live in Darwen, Lancashire, England.
I am retired and spend my time on looking after my grand daughter, local and family history and patchwork/quilting.

I mainly make small quilts now as my hands don't work like they used to and I can't hold a needle for too long or sit over a sewing machine but I do enjoy my sewin.

Best wishes from a wet, cold, Lancashire
Pauline

A big welcome from Ireland. I am UK born (Herts) but moved here 10 years ago. I hope today is sunnier for you and don't worry if you can't sew as much as you'd like. There are no races for quilting here, and no quilt police either.

Welcome from hot, humid central Indiana. (This won;t last here, though. In the winter, it is freezing cold.)

HI Pauline,

Welcome to the board, you will enjoy it, so much information.
I have traveled in England I think four times. I always enjoyed
it so much. Always went to London, I have been in the Stratford on Avon area, Stone Henge, Winchester. Then down to Dover to cross the channel on the hovercraft. I would love to have some of your cool, damp weather. We have been so hot and dry. There does not seem to be a end to it.
