Hello and welcome from Washington...... You love it here AND learn alot too... I'm sorta kinda new. I started quilting in May. Like you I found this by accident. It was the best "accident" I ever made. I love it here....

Glad you found a frame, have fun with it! I lived in Apex a loooong time ago. There are some great talented quilters in NC, and several others from the triangle on here.

I'm going to pick up a Grace Quilting Frame tonight, I can't wait. I found a used one and I am soooo looking forward to not having to wrestle my quilts around on the table anymore.... yeah!!

Craftybug: We aren't very far apart at all, I live in Raleigh. Once our youngest is off to college, we are planning on moving to the south side of town, Garner, Fuquay or so. Gotta get out of the 'burbs. Congrats on doing the hand quilting, I don't have the patience for that..

I pick up my Grace frame in September ! So excited for you to have yours now!! Also, my father is visiting me in MN and he lives in Holly Springs, about 5 miles from Fuquay!

I have to be careful to not spent so much time on this site that I'm neglecting my sewing!!

Its fun finding quilters in the area. I've just been trying to learn via books and such, but it's nice to know there are others in the area.

Now that the 64 bypass is done, we've thought about Knightdale as a reasonable commute too... Ah well, DD has one more year of High School, so we're stuck for now.

Picked up the frame last night, but can't assemble it until my niece leaves next week to go back to Washington. Then I'll have my room back. Can't wait!! (well, not for her to leave, but.... you know....)
