Welcome from Romeo Mi. You'll love this site. There is so much to learn from each other.

Hello and welcome from California.

Good for you, i hope you can find a little time for quilting but not sure how with 5 kids. Maybe if you keep your projects small they will not be so over whelming. Good to have you on board.

Hi Rose. I am from Mancelona in northern, lower MI...Welcome to the board. I am sure you will have a great time here.

Welcome - from north suburban Detroit, Michigan. How's the snow in your neck of the woods?

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

I don't have a lot of time for quilting, which is why I haven't ventured into the world of beautiful quilt squares. I just use plain fabric cut into squares for now.

The first quilt I made was for my baby. He was late, and I had already made diapers and diaper covers and even a little pink hat (I was sure he was going to be a girl, lol) and I needed something to keep my mind off the fact that the baby wasn't here yet. So a couple days before he was born, I bought pastel flannel and made him a tiny little quilt. He was born at home (a planned homebirth, not emergency) and after he was cleaned up, I wrapped him in his little flannel blanket.

Since then my hands have been itching for more quilting, so I made my daughters some little quilts for their dollies, and I made another quilt for the baby, this time in blue. I love the planning and drafting and choosing fabric and watching it all come together ... you know what I mean. :)

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, it is so nice to meet people with a shared interest. None of my friends or acquaintences are interested in sewing, and it's fun to share with others!

Welcome from Kentucky. I grew up in Michigan in the Thumb area.

Welcome from Livonia, just outside of Detroit. You will find many friends and a wealth of information here on the Board. Happy quilting. Your little ones sound like they keep you on your toes. Best wishes.

So Happy that you joined us :D:D:D

Hi! Welcome from a Yooper! I have two little boys and I don't know how you have a second to spare with FIVE kids! Hats off to you!

I do try to involve my boys in my quilting on some level- the younger one (3 yrs.) loves fabric and I give him little squares of scraps and he will "make qwuiwts" on the flannel I use for a design wall.
