This is is a test - have tried 3 other times to post with a photo, but it never goes thru! so now, just words. I am a retired federal employee, started quilting in high school, then took off about 40 years!! The birth of grandsons prompted me to quilt again and I haven't stopped yet. I am active in a local guild and this year will help out at the BIG Vermont Quilt Festival, assisting in the work done to appraise old quilts. I have been able to post a photo for mya vatar, but can't seem to post photos otherwise. :-(

Hello and welcome from the UK!

Hi, welcome to the board.

When posting photos you can not use the "Preview". If you try to your photo will disappear. I live in NY near Bennington Vermont. Am hoping to get up to the quilt festival in Essex Junction. Have never been but hear it is a great show.

I've not hit preview for that reason but still having trouble.!!! You will love VQF - but it is no longer just a vermont show - has turned into an international show. But still inspiring!

Hello and Welcome from Michigan. Beautiful quilt .. but the deer peeking out of the wall scares me!
