Hello from SouthWestern Indiana
 

Hello, all! It is nice to find you. My name is Mary. I live on a farm in what I always thought was the southwester portion of central Indiana. I was recently informed anything south of US40 is Southern Indiana. News to me!

Whatever it is called, here is where I am. I have sewn since I was 5 (which was over 40 years ago!) but have never called myself a quilter. I started seriously making quilts about 4 years ago. I always thought that quilts had to be sewn by hand. I do everything by machine.

Machines are how I found this place. I love vintage machines. Now I am at a point in life where I can acquire some. I think I may have a problem!

This year I am stretching myself and maybe when the year is done I will consider myself a quilter. I am doing a BOM at the LQS. I am going to Texas for a Quilter's Retreat - a first for me, and I think I am going to do a portion of The Farmer's wife.

When I make a Double Wedding Ring and quilt it, I think then I will be a quilter.

Nice to find ya'all!

Welcome from Lebanon Oregon, and you sound like you are already a true quilter to me :^)

You are a quilter, don't be shy and just come out of the closet. We are waiting for you to show us your quilts. There is a section on the homepage of this site, about vintage sew. machine. See to every problem is a solution.

I do believe some members of this site do the Farmer's Wife BOM too. So now you have even more in common.
