Hi everyone!! I am a hand quilter from PA. I have been looking for a message board like this and so happy to find it. I have been quilting for about 3 years now, right now I am making drink coasters for the girls who work for me at work. I have made several baby quilts and 2 twin size so far among other small things.

Im looking forward to chatting with everyone and getting help and ideas!!!

Hello and welcome! There's no shortage of help and ideas here, just toss out a thought whenever you like. Boo hosts a live chat from 3-5 EST on Sundays, too. It's the Live Chat link at the top that'll take you there. It's fun. Drop by! :-P

ok great!! I love live chats!! nice to meet you :)

You too! Oh, you're in PA...it'll be easy for you to remember the chat time. I'm in CA and after all these years can't get the 3PM EST = 12 noon here! Good grief ! :D

HI hannatrip.......your drink coasters, are they quilted or how are you making them? what a neat idea!! I am Nancy, from WI.......quilting for only a year...glad to meet you!

Hi. I am Linda from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I just found this forum yesterday. This is a test to see if I am using it correctly. I am very new at quilting but am giving it my best shot.

Hi Linda, Welcome - your message came thru so you must have done it right. This is a great site to make new friends and get lots of help from other members.

Hi Nanner, i make little blocks (like the big ones for a quilt) and put felt in the middle than a backing then quilt it. its like making little mini blocks. its fun!!

I will be looking forward to chatting with everyone!! I may be on and off irregularly, I have a aunt im very close to in her last stages of dying and i wont be online alot after tonight.

Hi Linda---
I'm Donna from Sapulpa, OK. I just found this site myself about a month ago. My sign-on name is Sibble. I'm a self-taught quilter, have made 3 or 4 quilts and loving it. Lots of good information on this message board. I have learned a lot reading everyone's Q & A's.

Welcome!

Hi Donna - I have a friend who lives in Sapulpa who is also a quilter. Her name is Maureen Miller. Do you know her?

Hi Linda:
Thanks for answering my message. No I don't know Maureen Miller. Is she signed up for this message board? Perhaps we could chat with each other.

Thanks..

No, I don't believe she is signed up.

Sorry to hear that, hannatrip! Hope all goes well for you and family, will be thinking of you.......hope to "hear from you soon!" Blessings

I hand quilt too. The last quilt I did was for my grandsons. "Veggie Tales". I did 2 twin comforters and pillow covers. King size. lol.

They loved them but now they have a little brother so am going to have to look for Veggie Tale material again.

I noticed tho that my stitching is not as good as it use to be. Maybe old age and arthritis. Or lazy ness not sure. It is a very relaxing way to spend the winter tho.

Good luck on your projects

Hi Hannatrip.........thanks for the cute idea, may try some, sounds cute and not real time consuming! Have a blessed Christmas, if we don't see you on for awhile!! Our thoughts go with you!! Nancy
