New Member/Old Quilter
 

Hello everyone! I recently stumbled upon this forum while searching for something and thought it would be fun to join (especially trying to find alternatives to social media websites). I have been quilting for around 30 years and worked in several shops as well as taught classes for a long time. I have been away from quilting and sewing for the last 10 years or so, but am returning to my sewing machine as I am now mostly retired. I enjoy appliqué and piecing more complex blocks and love planning quilts in EQ6 software. After being away from the industry for around 12 years I am not too familiar with new products, but have a good stash of old ones. I look forward to meeting some new quilting friends and hope to contribute to the group.

Welcome from West Virginia! This is a great place for ideas and inspiration.

Welcome from sunny Southern California. I enjoy this forum every morning with my coffee. I've found plenty of gadgets and new ideas. The gadgets light up my day when they're delivered, happy moments during Covid.

Welcome from central Maine. There is so much information here, I'm certain you will learn alot about the new gadgets and be caught up in no time. Everyone here is friendly and kind. I do not partake of social media places like FB, twitter, ect, this forum is my only social media and it has been nothing but a great asset on my life. We love pictures of projects, sewing spaces, eye candy is always welcomed. Glad you found us.🙋‍♀️

Yes, welcome to the QB...you’re gonna love it here. Congratulations on finding your way back to your sewing room and we look forward to seeing some of your projects.

Welcome to you from the mitten state. It sounds like you will have as much to give to us as we can give to you. Expect lots of questions, posting of projects and photos. A friendly group who like to laugh and sometimes commiserate with each other. Happy to have you joining our party.

Oh goodie! A new quilting buddy and a neighbor, kinda. Have to admit I start my day with coffee and this forum and end it with my otc for sleeping and this forum. You got questions? We got answers, lots of them. Welcome!

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Hello & welcome.

This is a great place to ask questions and share knowledge with other quilters. Enjoy your retirement time for new sewing projects. I don't think our tools or stash have an expiration date so you will be good to go!

Happy Stitches!

Waving hello from Maryland! Happy quilting.

Welcome from Arkansas

First of all welcome to the QB from SE Michigan! I am so glad you decided to join us here. Like you, I don't use newer machines as my newest machine is from the early 2000, but I didn't buy that one new. The last new machine I have here is from the mid 1980's I love working with vintage machines and I have a number of these that I use trading them off and on for use. Jump right back into your quilting it will be so much fun. So many new patterns and goodies to explore. Again welcome to the QB.

Waving from NE Ohio, welcome to the board.
