Hi everybody!
 
Living in Switzerland where there aren't many quilters around, I'm very happy to join this forum where I can share my - albeit fairly new - passion with you guys! :) I've only started quilting this year, so I'm not the most experienced quilter. But I love to figure out how a design I saw can be realised or come up with new designs and ideas.

I hope to become part of your lovely online community!

Welcome from the Sho-Me State - Missouri - USA. My husband's ancestors are from Switzerland and his sister actually went to Switzerland to look up some of their history, etc. Then my daughter had a foreign exchange student from Switzerland and they still keep in touch and my daughter wants to go and visit her. If you have been a garment sewer, then you will do fine following directions for a quilt.

You will learn many things on this site. Welcome from the beautiful mountains of western NC (and yes, I know the Alps are beautiful. I visited there many years ago and loved it, but western NC comes close!).

Welcome from Southern California! My mother's father's parents were from Switzerland, also. I need to find out exactly where. No one is sure when my great grandfather came over, but my great grandmother came over in 1892.

This is a fun site - hopefully you will enjoy it too.

I've worked with exchange students as well, there are some great programmes! We had one girl from Argentina whose ancestors came from the Vaud/Wallis region (she still had the last name) and she did some research on them as well. Let me know when your daughter ever comes to Switzerland, I might be able to give her a few pointers (and we also have a sofa bed, just in case! :D)!

I haven't sewn any garments in years. But that's ok, I don't really follow patterns anyway, I enjoy to make them up myself! :)

Yes, please do find out! Wouldn't it be fun to find out that we're somehow distantly related?:D (Slim chance though, I guess!)

Welcome from the Gulf of Mexico, Corpus Christi, Tx. to be exact. Everything you want to know about quilting you will find your answers here. Someone will have a link or source for you to connect. Depending on what you need to know may take a while but will eventually the answer or tip will be found. Any input/suggestions from you will be met with great appreciation and enthusiasm. I usually start my day with coffee, newspaper and QB. Often the day will end with the QB.

Welcome from Pennsylvania, USA. Just remember to be easy on yourself and use the info that works best for you. There is no one way to accomplish making a quilt.
peace
