I am from Kentucky where it is COLD right now and snowing!!! Good time to be inside and quilting. Have so many UFOs that I will NEVER start anything "new" if I wait until I finish them all up!!!
Will be married 27 years the 22nd of this month. My husband will cut my pieces but can't get him to "sew"!!! He will help any other way!!! He asked when we got married, “How come a woman will take a perfectly good piece of material, cut it up into little bitty pieces and then sew it back together again?” After my answer he has never asked again and has been willing to cut my pieces for me ever since!!!!
I have four grown children all left home (one in the Army in South Korea) and only one granddaughter. She is 3 1/2 and wants me to teach her how to Quilt!
Have a picture that I want to post to a board and can't seem to find out how!! Know it must be simple...that is why I can't do it!!! Hee hee

Welcome from St. Louis.
I saw flurries this morning, but it is right above freezing now, so we should be okay! Quilting is the answer though!
There is a tutorial on how to post a picture and it works! But it took me some time to be able to do it. Perservere! We love pictures!
Get another quilter in the family to share your passion! How wonderful to have a piece cutter upper right there! I have to do all my own everything! :cry: But I don't have to pick up after anyone else either, so I guess it washes. :P

Welcome Mary!
You can find the step by step instructions to post pictures here -

Like anything else, it's easy once you do it a few times. The key is using a jpeg or jpg format, and keeping the file size down.

Welcome from Northern Indiana ! You will love it here, everyone is so nice and helpful . :lol: I just have to ask.... what did you tell your husband after he asked why we cut up fabric only to put it back together again ? It had to be a good answer, since he now helps you..LOL Please share pics
