Hello, All! I've been lurking on this board for awhile and decided to sign up tonight. I am what I would consider a "confident beginner" and am totally hooked on learning different quilting techniques. Spent part of today looking for a particular pattern called Flirtatious Garden by Brenda Hayes. Only found one site that mentioned it and it was sold out. Anyone have any idea where I could buy a copy? Thanks for your help. Looking forward to learning from all of you!

Thank you anyway, Thumbelina! It may be out of print by now but I thought I'd try as many paths as I could think of to find it. I appreciate your response!

Welcome to QB, Sarah. That is beautiful quilt. I'm guessing that the pattern you found was at http://www.homespunhearth.com/detail...d=ZP-RP20001-L

I'm wondering if you might check etsy or ebay, maybe some day it may show up there.

Welcome to the board from Kentucky. I grew up in the thumb. Miss going up north but don't miss the winters!

It's a lovely project, I wish I had better applique skills...

But hello to you! We have a lot of Michiganders here, my hubby is ex-Grand Rapids but his family is still in the area. My last completed quilt was a blue and gold top for Aunt Debbie -- Go Blue!

Currently in the Seatttle area where it is wet more than snow.

Hello, Pam! Thanks for your welcome note! Michigan is such a beautiful state but I agree about the harsh winters. I am a transplant from another area of the country and just dread Michigan winters. But I am one mile from Lake Michigan so I try not to complain....:)

Hello, IceBlossom! Living in Michigan everyone assumes I am a Wolverine fan....But we're a Notre Dame family so you know what that means! :) I must say, though, I was thrilled when Michigan beat Ohio State last weekend! I love college football and have done a lot of hand quilting (and hand wringing!) watching games on Saturdays!

Hello, Suzanne! Thanks for your welcome note! I spent almost 10 happy years in Tucson years ago; it remains one of my favorite places to live ever (although the crazy politics out of your state make me sad). I loved your sign off quote, too! I hope to learn lots through this group as well.

Hello from South Florida
I too wish I had good appliqué skills. My hands just won’t allow for those tiny stitches any more.
