From the Lake District
 

Hi, my name is Cherry. I’m from the north of England.
l’ve been a lurker for a while and I love looking at the amazing projects you all create.
Leah Day taught me to quilt so I press all my seams open😳
I’m very shy.

Welcome from NJ. I'm another 'open presser' as my sewing background is that of garment construction. Find it makes my blocks much flatter and easier to match.

Don't be shy - we don't bite, lol.

Welcome from western NY and happy quilting :)

Welcome from NE Ohio, and as NJ Quilter says we don't bite and quilters are about the friendliest people you can meet. So again welcome.

Welcome from Northern Indiana. No biters, and we try not to step on pins. This board is wonderful for help with any problem.

Howdy & welcome from Texas. You are among friends here. We would love to see something that you have made.

Welcome from South Louisiana in the USA. Quilting can help you overcome shyness for sure. Look forward to seeing your projects.

Hi Cherry - welcome to this forum from another UK member. It’s good to have another Brit on board!

You live in a beautiful part of the UK - it must be glorious there at the moment. I’m across the country from you in Tyne and Wear.

Cheers!

Hello from the wet and foggy side of Washington state.

I also press my seams open, I was self taught and have been doing it since the 70s, the quilts are doing just fine. I try to embrace pressing to the side but I don't like it and so only do it when I join a block swap, which is rare.

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Hi Cherry,

Welcome to the board! I have been to the Lake District. So lovely! My daughter lived in Widnes for a number of years, and when I visited we went to the Lake District. Went to see Beatrix Potter's house too. I loved it out there!

So 'hello' from Mississippi....
