Hello from the Pacific Northwest!
 

I started quilting in 2012 when I was looking for a new hobby to satisfy my introverted tendencies. I thought quilting was the perfect solo activity and really enjoyed it. Now, I am discovering how much of a social community actually surrounds quilting. I joined my first quilt guild this year and now a forum, and I kinda dig it and am looking forward to my skills growing exponentially as a result.

I also bought my first long arm 2 months ago, and now realize that finishing a quilt can be just as much fun as the piecing!

Welcome from Az. I so want my own longarm!

Welcome from SE Michigan! You are so right about the social interaction that comes with being a quilter. Here is the place to be! I feel deprived when I am not socially involved with my quilting. Of course I share with my sister who is also a quilter. Recently I became very involved with the quilting guild I joined only about 6 months ago. And here I am here everyday now and being encouraged is so many ways to quilt to my hearts content. I hope to someday have a longarm machine. For now it is wishful thinking. Again welcome aboard!
