I've been watching from behind the scenes Wow There are very talented and Sharing Fellow Quilters. I have been quilting since Oct 09 and the picture I used for my Profile Pic is my Second Quilt. I found 4 patch even 9 Patch boring, Beautiful but I wanted a Challenge right away. My Crysanthimum is not paper pieced it is 40 pieces sewen into block, Yep the first one I made I was addicted had to rip it apart and make sure I sewed exact 1/4" but this was the result. My Next big challenge will be A very Detailed Mariner's Compass. I love challenges. I work from home which is wondeful as I can go quilt with my pc right next to me.

How do we get each other's email from this board?

LUV2QLT 04-29-2010 07:30 AM

We can 'PM' each other - Private Message - that way our personal email addresses aren't on the world internet for 'naughty' people to get ahold of them. You have to be a member to be able to send a message. You can just click on our name by our avatar to PM anybody you want on the board - or click on 'Private Messages' at the top of the page, and then type in their member name to send a private message. Hope that all makes sense to you!

Hello from the North Metro! If you contact Brendadawg, she has been coordinating a list of MN people on here for get togethers. I just saw an ad today that there is a quilters garage sale in Maple Grove tomorrow! I'm going to have to try to get over there! Saw it on Craigslist. Everyone is so nice and helpful around here, I know you'll have fun!

Hello neighbor...from New Germany, MN (30 miles or so NW of you). Please send me the information for your mom's sale. I love sales. Maybe she won't need to have a public sale if we all get together and buy her quilting/sewing stuff beforehand.

Hey, there, welcome from St. Paul. Our son and daughter-in-law lived in Shakopee for ten years, bought a farm and are now farther away from us. She also is a quilter. I also have a fantasy of making a Mariner's Compass. I will wait a little bit. I got a Quilt Cut 2 from my Aunt and it holds a cut and makes it easier to cut the pieces for the Compass. I also have dreams of making an Elm Creek Quilt.

Enjoy your stay with us - you will find that there is always help when you need it, compassion when necessary, a laugh to brighten your day and getting to know some of the greatest people this side of heaven - from all over the world. Aren't we just the luckiest people??? Edie
