Welcome from chilly but beautiful ALASKA! :shock: You will love this board :!: Keep warm there in Boston. I was there 1 1/2 years ago and I loved it there. Lots of snow and no where to put it...LOL

You're right about no where to put the snow. Luckily I live about 10 or 15 miles north of Boston proper. Don't go into Boston unless it is necessary. To crowded for me and also I would rather see trees than tall buildings. I heard that sometimes Alaska is warmer than here, how about that.

Did I spell it right? Started on Macrame' around that time, lots of it in that area.

You are a tickle and I'm glad you're hear. I am determined to try to make quilts out of what I find at Goodwill, my husbands shirts, whatever. I'd love to make one of those old woolen patchwork quilts like my Grandma had made out of men's suits. Had a flannel back and was the warmest, though smelliest, quilt I've ever been under!

By smelly I mean a combination of pipe smoke and after shave, not all bad.

Remember the broomstick skirts? I made a quilt from those and tied it but that was a mistake. Ties pulled right thru the loose weave!!

Greetings! I am new to this. My computer skills are limited so a photo isn't included in my info. You will just have to believe me that I resemble Angelina Jolie.
I have been quilting for about 20+ years, taught quilting classes for a bit, but now am just quilting for fun and, at times, profit. My older sister quilts, as does my younger sister. Last year I passed along the "quilting fever" to my daughter.

Just noticed the alongside Location, I am listed as "in hiding". I am happy to say I no longer have to be in the FBI witness protection program so you can list me as residing in Northern Illinois.

Welcome from the Tri-Cities, Washington. How wonderful that you have mastered the computer. I agree with you, the Board is addicting. Linda
