I have been quilting for 25 years. I used to be an avid cross stitcher but I have a quilter friend who finally converted me and I have been addicted ever since. Quilting has introduced me to wonderful people and I have made lifelong friends through our common passion. I am currently the BOM chairman for my quilt guild. Lately, I have been making bags for my friends and grandchildren.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!! Great looking projects!!

I've never seen the men's tie pattern before. It's very cute! Welcome to the board.

A big welcome from Ireland.

Thank you. A friends husband died last year and she asked me to make a tie quilt. She only had 9 ties which would not make much of a quilt. She has 2 grown daughters so I made 3 separate panels one for each of them. I used the short end of the tie and used his tie clips of which there were also 9. They loved it. It was a big responsibility and it took me 3 months to decide on a pattern. I was really nervous when I cut the ties apart. The shirt part of the tie is in EQ6.

Welcome from Australia!
It just occurred to me that your French bag would match my french quilt called 'Paris Nights' with cocktail dresses and chandeliers in black (and red)! Thinking alike perhaps?
All the best, Therese

Welcome!

My sister lives in Talihina -- McAlaster and Fort Smith, Ak are the closest good shopping. Oh there is Poteau about 20 miles away. I go through Paris, Texas and up the Indian Nation Turn Pike getting off at the first exit. Can't remember the town right now then go across.

Welcome from Oklahoma with a Massachusetts accent. So happy you could be here. There is always room for one more quilter.

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here. Great job on your projects.

Hi Jolo, There you go! I am planning a sewing trip to Talihina this comming August, Maybe we can meet for coffee. If not if you feel a breeze on your cheek you will know I waved.
My sis and 2 cousins and I hope my friends #1 and #2 are planning to spend a week together. BTW my friends are called #1 and #2 because they both have the same first name and so I call then by the lenght of time I have known them.

Hi and welcome from Oklahoma.

Welcome from another Okie. Love your projects, especially the bag. I'm a bag lady myself. And I love anything and everything that is black and white. I only throw in red if I have to.

My husband plays bluegrass music, and we've been to the Falconhead festival several times.
