I've been reading these posts for several months and love this forum. I have gotten so many ideas, learned so many tips, and gotten lots of inspiration from all of you. I have been hand quilting for 10-15 years and am getting more hooked all the time! My new Innova 26 machine that my husband ordered will be here next week! I have never machine quilted so this is going to be fun.

hello and welcome :-D

Hi Betty, and welcome! I've been here only since Christmas (you wouldn't know that by my post count, lol)

Welcome, glad you joined us. We love pictures.

Welcome from Pine Grove, CA and congratulations on getting a new machine!

I hope you'll post pictures of your projects. Fifteen years of quilting? You must have a pile of completed projects! I'm a relative newby (2 yrs. only) and learn so much for everyone else.....

Hello, and welcome from Missouri! It is cold here and great weather for quilting. Especially hand/lap quilting! I need something to keep me warm!

I'm from Rustburg, near Lynchburg. I've been quilting for a long time but I'm not one of those prolific people. I usually only have time for quilting on weekends after my cleaning is done!! I work full time, so I find it a little frustrating to quilt as much as I'd like. If I don't do my cleaning first, we couldn't stand to live here!

Betty, Welcome. Good luck with your new machine. I hope you love it.

I like your dogs. We have Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Thank you, Spaniels are great too, very pretty dogs.
