Hello to one and all,

Like many others, I have been reading and learning from this site for quite some time and figured it was time to 'officially' join.

I have been quilting for 30 years but don't have as much to show for it as I would like for one reason or another. Most of the quilts that I have made have been given away as qifts or to charities.

I will still be making quilts to donate but I have decided that it is now time to dedicate more time to the quilts that I want for myself and my family and quilting in general.

Since I have adopted this new mind set I am making amazing progress. I finished three quilts in Dec. (all of which were given away) and have finished 3 UFO quilt tops in just the last two weeks. Some days I do nothing but quilt from late in the morning (I'm NOT a morning person) until mid-night and it makes me soooo happy.

As time goes on, I will try to post pictures of some of the quilts that I have made.

Happy Quilting

Welcome to the board from Southern California!
Great job on getting some UFO's done!!! Most of my quilts have been given away but I still have about a dozen finished ones being used all over the house.
I have a huge stack of UFO's. I recently had shoulder surgery and have been able to piece a couple of tops together but am not ready to attempt the quilting of them yet. I know how hard it was on my shoulders before surgery so I'm giving it a little more time.

Welcome Clueless, from NE Alabama. Glad you're keeping busy in the cold weather & that you're being productive for yourself for once. I too have given away everything I've ever made, except one Irish Chain that I sold (short on funds). You'll be so happy that you can put up a rack with quilts just for you & your family soon.

Hello there & welcome from the state of Washington!!

Hi and welcome, from Oklahoma.

HI EVERYONE:

HI MY NAME IS JOANNE AND I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

I AM NEW TO THE GROUP BUT HAVE BEEN QUILTING FOR YEARS. I LOVE ALL OF THE INTERACTION AND THE QUILT PHOTOS ARE JUST WONDERFUL. IT IS LIKE THE SHOW AND TELL PART OF THE QUILT GUILD.

I WOULD LOVE TO DO A BOM BUT CANNOT FIND WHERE IT IS ON THE SITE.

Welcome!
I too am new but will try to help. If I remember correctly, you click on 'Home' at the top of this page and it will take you to the 'Quilting Forum' page. I think BOM is the third topic listed.

Welcome from Michigan....interesting 'conversation' going on here. I love to hear what other quilters are doing and when they do it. I love to quilt and I love to read and I tear myself away from one to do the other and then I love to be on the computer...oh how I wish I could do all three at the same time, but that is impossible. They will never have to worry about me driving and texting! I am not capable of doing two things that need my full attention at one time!

Hello and Welcome :D:D:D
