Hallo! I'm DreamXer (Dreamstitcher in short) and I found this forum by looking for some answers to prewash or not to prewash...
I'm 35, no kids (unless you count my feathered babies!), a terror-ific cat and a hubby (of sorts, but longtime :-} ). We live outside North Bay, Ontario.
I'm a new quilter but I've loved colour and fabric since I was small. I'm a member of one of our local guilds and I work a day a week at one of our local quilt stores. I also work during the week as a finance clerk. In the summer I love to garden and spend time outdoors!
I have a Kenmore sewing machine that was a grad gift - I'm still learning about it though! - but it works great for what I need!

Got to go as I'm writing this at lunch... look forward to meeting you all!

welcome from sunny spain, you will just love it here, everyone is so helpful and encouraging...I can vouch for that!! :D

Welcome! A big YES to prewashing. If you use the search function above, you can find a million threads about that subject, and a few "woe is me!" from those who ran into troubles when they skipped pre-washing.

There's also a great picture section, and a furry friends thread where your cat will feel right at home !

Welcome and Hafa Adai from Guam!

Welcome to our group! Lots of friendly and helpful folks here :D

HI,
I'm new, too. Everyone seems super nice here.
If I worked at a quilt store I'd spend more than my paycheck there each week!! How do you do it?? :)

not easy - i was hoping it would be the same as when I worked in restaurants - I rarely ate the food then. Not so in a palace of fabric! LOL
I work there for the fabric - it's the jam to my bread and butter...
:wink: :D

You're good. I've been avoiding the shops lately because I already have a good 3 projects in the works and every time I go in, I add to my list (and STASH!). LOL

welcome aboard....You will love it in here.....Great people with great ideas..... :lol:
