I'm new - hello!
 

Hi! I'm Magpie Quilts, and my name is Caroline. I started quilting 35 years ago when my firstborn was a baby and I was BORED out of my skull. I watched Georgia Bonesteel teaching lap quilting on TV and was hooked! I have made about 50 wall hangings and "nap" quilts (up to 60" square), and a few bed-sized quilts. Currently I'm working on a queen-sized for the RV we will be buying when my husband retires in July. Also I want to finish up all the tops I've made and haven't quilted. I'm learning free-motion quilting so doing a lot of experimenting. I love quilting!

Hi Caroline, welcome from North Central Wisconsin!

Hi Caroline, I am from Co and want to welcome you., I just finished a king size quilt Lovers Knot and I think my quilts are going to shrink from now on. LOL

Welcome from Michigan!!!! There are a couple of members here that have their RVs set up so they can quilt while on the road.

Welcome from South Central WI where it was a balmy 11 degrees today, and we spotted our first robin today! I too have been quilting for a long time and actually started out as a hand quilter, learning from Georgia and Eleanor back in the day!

Hi Caroline ~ I'm new to the forum and new to quilting. I'm still trying to learn free-motion quilting and look forward to hearing about your progress. Welcome!

Welcome from western NY and happy quilting :)

It sounds like you will have an exciting summer. Maybe you could post some pictures of some things you have done. I am sure I could learn a lot from someone with your experience. Welcome and waving from Colorado :wave:

Hi Caroline from Oklahoma City, OK!!! You're going to love RVing.....we did but are unable to do it now because of health reasons. Enjoy it while you can. Hope you plan on doing some quilting while you're in that RV. Glad to have you aboard!!!
