Hello, I'm Sherri in PA (near Pittsburgh).
I've just started quilting- started out by hand, until recently, when my mother gave me her old- but sturdy!-Singer 247 sewing machine a week ago. I look forward to learning new things, meeting new people. P.S. The image in my avatar space is my very first quilt-top, which was later made into a small, (tied) quilt. |

Hello, everyone, and thanks so much for the warm welcome:)
I'm from the small town of Somerset in Steeler Country. There's not too many quilt shops close by - there's a sewing center in the Mall, but nothing right in town here, that i know of; (and, of course there's Wal-mart- not too bad- i just picked up some nice cottons at a buck a yard, and an interesting print in the remnant bin, this evening. Sherri |
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO STEELERSSSSSSSSS!!!
Hi Sherrie, I am a all my life ( :shock: ) Steelers fan, being from Parkersburg, WV in my youth, you know I had to stick to the Steelers. :lol: :lol: :lol: Welcome to the best 'secret' quilting group. You really have to run into it on searches or be invited, don't you? I love it here, I've made friends, learned something new every day, and become so addicted that I even offered to host chats on weekday mornings. I hope you become just as addicted to the best society of friends! Sharon |

Hi I'm Muriel, I live in Allison Park, near Pittsburgh, Pa. I've sewn most of my life, but only started quilting in 2002. And I love it !!! My family is overwhelmed with quilts and want me to stop. haha I just bought a HQ16 and I love being able to finish my quilts on that immediately without waiting. Can you tell I am sometimes a bit impatient. ? I'm looking forward to chatting and learning from all of you.

Hi Muriel
Welcome to our wonderful wacky family. You will love this forum. Everyone here is so friendly. We would love to see some of your quilts if you would like to show us. If you have too many quilts I know that we would take them off of your hands. :) We wouldn't want your family to have too many :lol: Just give us the word and we will all send you our snail mail addresses. Welcome Barb |
"Hi Muriel, I've just joined here, too:

Welcome Welcome Welcome
|
Hi Muriel, I live just north of you I just love the Quilt Company.
So a big quilting welcome to you. Donna |
I feel bad now. Lots of you are from the same area and have the possibility of meeting. PLUS, you have quilt shops. Here is little ole' me, all alone in the desert, and the closest Walmart is 80 miles. But I sure do apppreciate reading all of the messages! Sara
|
Hi, Sara!
I'm sorry to hear that the closest Wal-mart to you is A very long 80 miles away! Hopefully, you have found some good, dependable mail-order companies from which to order fabrics and notions. Happy Quilting! Sherri in PA:) |
Sherri - I LOVE the saying at the end of your posts. Good advice for all!!
|
Sarah.....I would love to see some pictures from your backdoor. I would love to live where you do. The warm dry air would be so much better for breathing I love quiet and just listen to nature.

Here ya go, Ruth. This is outside my kitchen door. No clouds. Lots of sunshine. The benefits of living here certainly outweigh the distance to good shopping. Sara
Beautiful southern utah. Just 5 miles from the AZ border. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2103[/ATTACH] |
Sarah that is beautiful, would make a beautiful avitar. Does it get coll at night for sleeping? I envy you. :D :mrgreen:
|
Sara, What a beautiful view. I've never been to Utah, but your picture makes me want to visit!
|
sara, What a view! If I had that, I would never leave my house and what inspiration I would have. not just on quilting, but on life itself.
How do I get there? Donna |
