Hi I have just joined the message board in my lunch hour. I have been quiting for about 7 years and seem to have made quilts for most of my family members but not one for myself yet. Hope to get to make new friends as there is no quilting group where I live.

Welcome Angie! I've found this board to be a wealth of knowledge and kindness, I think you will enjoy it!

Hi Angie and welcome from an English gal living in France!

Are you anywhere near the Cotton Patch shop? I order from there a lot and have been there once when I was staying in Stow a while back.

It's great here and you'll soon be inspired to make that quilt for YOU! :D

That's one of the nice things about the QB - our PC connects wherever we are. Call it an instant Quilting Circle.

Hi, yes I am fairly close to the Cotton Patch although I have to say that I don't buy from there very often. I find them rather expensive by comparison to some other internet quilt shops I use.

I am resiting buying any more fabric at the moment as we have the Festival of Quilts UK in a couple of weeks and I know I shall end up spending far too much there. :D

Welcome England from down in the holler here in West Virginia in the good 'ol USA. I'm too far down in the holler for you to see me wave. My old boss, now friend is from England and she is the one who has taught me to quilt. She is very good. Only hope I am worthy of her teachings.
