I finally got off my butt and joined a guild in Columbia, MD.
I finally joined a couple of clubs, namely Thimbleberries and Jo Morton.
I have been quilting for about 5 years.
I don't quilt, I tie. I hate quilting.
I can make patterns.
I have a huge stash that is NEVER enough.

Hello and welcome from Canada :)

Welcome from NE CA. Glad you joined us. I also said I would never quilt. But here I am, regardless of the fact that you tie, you're still a quilter. Probably 98% of mine have been quilted, since they have all been donated. According to my dh, if I sewed/quilted 24/7 until the day I died, I would still have fabric left over.LOL

Hi Anne and Welcome from southern Indiana!

Hi. Welcome from Flushing, NY. My daughter used to live in Columbia, then White Marsh. I don't like to quilt either. I'm a "piecer" and send most out to be done. I do quilt smaller ones and those I make for charities.

Hi and welcome from Georgia. So glad to have you with us. PS--I don't like to quilt either--I just like to piece the tops!!

I must be nuts - I love hand quilting! It's such mindless bliss and rest for the soul. Also a good excuse to sit on the couch is this nasty winter weather with a quilt on my lap!

Hi and welcome from NW Missouri

Welcome from Ontario Canada (brrrrrr -29 this morning),

I'm also a "piecer" I've only been on this forum for a couple of weeks and thought there was very few who sent out a pieced top to be professionally quilted. Whew, I feel better now. Someday I will try quilting something small, just don't want to wreck anything. This forum is starting to give me some confidence to give it a try.

Welcome from Washington state.

Hello and welcome from Southern California. the quilting part is not my favorite part either, but there is much satisfaction in finally finishing it and getting it "out the door" I have never tied a quilt, and I have never hand quilted. My machine helps me do basic quilting, nothing fancy, but I have finished maybe 70 - 80 or even more quilts now.
