Hello from Mississippi
 

Hi! My name is Brenda, I'm a retired SPE teacher of the deaf and am becoming reacquainted with my sewing room. We'll just say that life happened leaving me with little time to "play" and now I may just have a few moments. I used to belong to the group or a similar group in Yahoo Groups and just discovered that it doesn't exist anymore. I do have a Viking Mega Quilter and Inspira frame. I have quilted a few quilts on it but it's been a few years. So I am thrilled to find all of you and tap into your vast knowledge and inspirations. I also belong to an actual quilt guild (where COVID rearranged our meetings to ZOOM and few of them) where I am not the only one but one of the few who does not have a true longarm quilter. My envy ends where the bank begins...so I choose to remain content with what I have...a wonderful MID arm machine and frame!. Great to find you all! (And I also have a Viking Topaz 40 Embroidery machine.---I know....different world) Yeah me. It replaced my Viking H. Designer SE which gave up the ghost last year.. I smock, do heirloom embroidery, bake and decorate cakes and cookies, too. Or at least I used to do all that a LOT. Hoping to do some of it again...but just enough to enjoy. Not to replace retirement! LOL Anyway...again thanks for letting me join! I'm glad I found you!!!! I am currently working on a braided quilt pattern in shades of purple for our granddaughter.

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Impressive credentials. Welcome aboard.

I learned about 300 signs in SEE back in the dark ages.

Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan. You sound like you are all set to do what ever you want when it comes to quilting. I for one am looking forward to seeing what you have in store. My daughter is a SE teacher for autistic kids up here. Your job was a difficult one. My sister is an interprets for the deaf and is very active in the deaf community here.
Again welcome to the QB there are lots of quilters here that will enjoy and learn from your input so jump right in and join the fun.
