Hello to all of you talented quilters,
after lurking and reading for some days, I'd like to introduce myself: Coming from Germany, SAHM of two kids, newbie to quilting, but already addicted :-D .
Enjoyed browsing through some threads, b/c you folks over here are very nice and kind, liked this a lot!
Thank you for showing and sharing your quilting art.
Anne

Hello and welcome from Ontario.

Welcome, waving from Indiana, USA

Please share pictures of your quilts with us from Germany

Would love to see some of the fabrics from Germany also

Welcome!

Thank you for your warm welcome! Of course, I'll soon share a picture or two, but I hope you won't be too much dissapointed:

a) I'm an absolute beginner, including wonky seams and verrrrry simple patterns
b) mostly I'm using US fabric, which I just LOVE! Fortunately my LQS carries them, unfortunately they are quite pricey over here. It's app. 20$ up to 22$ per meter.

Lately I found some great online shops, but not all of them ship internationally. Have to do some more research on this.

Find a picture of my WIP, a Quilttop, which I just basted. Hopefully tomorrow I can start to (machine)quilt.
Thanks for looking.

Welcome from Ontario Canada... WE hope you join in one of our swaps.. it is always so wonderful to get something from the other side of the world!

Aberi, I'll gladly join in one of your swaps. Just have to become familiar with this, so I better start browsing through these threads ;) Thanks for your welcome!

Hi Anne,

schoen dass du uns gefunden hast (great that you found us). Maybe we can exchange some ideas in German - I need to beef up on the quilting terms in my mother tongue.

Greetings from Northern California.

Welcome from Alaska! Glad you could join us. Nice quilt!

Welcome!

Welcome from Ireland

Another welcome from Kentucky!

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here.

nice quilt, am surprised you're using them instead of featherbeds.

Seems like a misunderstanding. I'm using my quilts instead of a woolen plaid or so, as a kind of cozy blankies for "couch potatoe-ing" or sitting in my favourite chair, wrapped in a cozy quilt, reading a book, but not instead of a featherbed. I guess, the frequent washing would harm the quilt.

nice to get more folks from overseas, kind of gives a whole different perspective on some things--it's great! welcome!

We use the featherbeds in the winter, but switch to quilts in the summer time. The quilts would wear out with so much washing, but are nice to snuggle in.

Hello and Welcome to the board!!! So glad that you joined us :D:D:D

Ein herzliches Willkommen aus Norddeutschland! Viel Spaß hier in diesem tollen Forum!

It's so wonderful to be here and to share all the ideas and varieties of the quilter's world.

Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart for all of your warm and kind welcome. I really appreciate this and am sooooo glad I found out about this board :D
Seems to be a very happy place!
Have a wonderful and bright day, wherever you are!
Anne

welcome from New England
I have a warm spot for Germany - it's where my Mom's people came from to the Port of New Orleans in the mid 1880s.

Welcome to the board from the UK. It is the best board that I have found and has been a lifeline to me. Hope you feel the same.

Welcome from Montana! We have had 3 exchange students from Germany and we are looking forward to a trip there to see them. I taught one of the girls how to quilt and she made a quilt for her parents and placemats for her sister while she was here. Then I know she made a baby quilt after she went home. All 3 students were from the Cologne area. Your quilt looks great - and don't worry about wonky corners because I didn't see them!!! You are always your own worst critic and each quilt will get better!

Welcome from Arizona!

Welcome! Hey, I hope you didn't thread baste the quilt to machine quilt it? Next time try safty pins - much faster.
