Hello from NW Iowa
 

Can't say I am new to quilting, use to make one quilt a year back in the day when we used cardboard templates for our blocks....Went to work full time and after retiring (2017) got the sewing machine and material out again and bought a quilting magazine, and WOW how the world of quilting had changed!! Acrylic templates, cutting mats, rotary cutters, and oh my... THIS IS SO FUN!! I had a small stroke in 2020 caused by diabetes, so I keep patterns simple and work on one quilt at a time, as my memory is such that I forget without looking at instructions again and again if I work on more than one quilt top at a time! LOL I cannot get down on the floor any longer to layout backing, batting, and quilt tops, so I am just happy that my back allows me to sew quilt tops at the machine. (Spina bifida found when in my mid 30's) but I am looking forward to finding new ideas, patterns, learning how to do things easier, and just looking forward to the community as a whole.

Welcome from Tennessee. I’m happy you found your way back to quilting. There is so much info out there now

Welcome from WV! Quilting is such a wonderful hobby that uses our brains and stretches our creativity. And the friends I have made through quilting are like family.

Sending a warm welcome from Delaware. As someone with back issues, nothing compared to yours, I can say it gives me a place to forget the pain and I have something useful when completed. Glad you found your happy place.

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Welcome from SW Iowa. I remember those days when we used scissors instead of rotary cutters,etc. You are so right about how much quilting has changed. Even the methods, names of blocks and names of quilts have changed alot. Who would have thunk there would be so many variations of log cabin blocks/quilts which I love this simple block gone wild on us

Good to see you haven't let your health issue rule your life. You go girl!!!!1
