Hi, just wanted to introduce myself and haven't got a clue as to what I'm doing ! I've never been on a chat/line , but would really like to be able to chat with other quilters and share ideas.But first I have to figure out what I'm doing on this computer !!! Hope I can muttle through this and find some new friends !Besides quilting I'm a very young at heart grandmother who rides a Harley that my husband built for me.I am "almost " a 5 year lung cancer survivor and I thank God everyday for all my blessings. I have 3 grandsons and 1 granddaughter,of course there all beautiful. Oh , did I mention I like to talk or write ??!!!

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!

HI & WELCOME FROM NC.....

Hi Gayle,Is that your quilt next to the post ? It is a beauty as far as I can see it .Thanks for the welcome.

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here. It's wonderful you are a cancer survivor. And if you love to talk you are in the right place.

Hey,That was the first bible scripture I learned when I think I was about 9 and I have never forgotten it ! Fell like an Amen !!

Hey Bopeep, My brother lives in a small town outside of Concord and we got to the beach at Carolina B. or Kure B. almost every year. My husbands parents use to live there.I love it down there.

Quilting is agreat form of therapy,especially with all the snow you guys get,but we sure had our fair share too this year. Gardening is my favorite source of therapy but my body just isn't working with my brain !! My brain says I'm still in my 30's or 40's but my body is laughing it's head off at me !!!

Oh yeah, I also love your cat,I have 4 and they are my babies,well except one,he grates my last nerve !

Welcome from Western Pa. I'm also a bike-riding, quilt-making grandma.

Howdy and welcome from Pipe Creek Texas!!!

Hi Jan,Nice to meet ya. So what doo you ride and where are ya from? I love my bike. My husband converted his Shovelhead into a trike for my just after I had lung cancer. It makes it easier for me.

Love this quilt !

Pictures Judy pictures. I'm a quilter and rider as well. Not a Harley but a 1600 Suzuki. As long as my bad back lets me I'll keep riding. And quilting too for that matter.
Glad your here. From Eastern Washington :thumbup:

Hey dglvr,hey a 1600 Suzuki is a very sweet bike,as my husband and I say it's not what you ride it's That you ride,that's what it's about,the ride !Are those your baby Dobies? Very pretty.Just had surgery on my back 8 weeks ago on the 8th ! Great Dr.& recovery has been great !

well, I ride draft horses not motorcycles. Welcome anyway!

I ride the big horses because they make my butt look smaller.

Hi Judy and welcome. I had a bike about 40 years ago. It wasn't a Harley or anything big. I gave it up after I was run off of the road for the second time and my son was on the bike that time. It was fun but now my SUV is my vehicle of choice. I can fit a couple of sewing machines and lots of fabric in it when going to retreats. :lol:

Having a retreat here in SO Ill Aug 6 & 7 Would love to have you!!

Welcome Judy--I'm new here too---this is great board--wonderful people--you will learn alot and have fun doing it--congratulations on being a survivor!

Hi and welcome from MA.

HI Judy. Yes those are my Dobie babies. Thats Tank (9)and Heidi (11). I also included a picture of my motorcycle. And I'm with you its not what your riding its that your riding. I'm hoping I can keep on riding. Maybe I should come see your doctor.
Congrats on everything going so well for you.
My husbands rides a Hyabusa. Which I ride sometimes too.
