Welcome from Wisconsin, USA. It's cool to be able to be typing to people from other countries!! If I ever get over your way I will have to look you up!! Maybe I will bring you some patterns!!

Valkommen! from Minnesota and Florida. Maybe you are starting a trend in Switzerland. I am also a self taught quilter, thanks to quilting books. Would love if you could send pictures and share your ideas.

Hello and welcome from Texas. I have heard that your country is beautiful. I have been quilting the same way. Never have been to a class, just picked up from quilting books, and this quilting board. I have been quilting seriously for over a year. Maybe you will start a trend over there!! glad you are here.

Welcome from Wisconsin. I joined this site a number of years ago and it has grown so much over the past few years. Wonderful help and wonderful people.

Welcome from San Gabriel California.

Welcome aboard to this wonderful group....I can't tell you how much I have learned so far being new to quilting myself. The world is getting smaller through electronic means and what a wonderful tool to be able share stories, pictures, ideas amongst us all. We owe a great deal of gratitude to Konstatin in keeping this board going. What dedication and if I am thankful for this season she has to be part of my thanks...THANKYOU. THANK YOU, THANK You!

Welcome from Chattanooga, TN. Switzerland is such a beautiful place. Happy quilting!
