Just stopping by to say hello and introduce myself. I've been checking in on a daily basis for some time now and enjoy reading the threads. My name is Rebecca and as you can gather from my screen name, I'm located in the Piedmont of North Carolina - just outside of Charlotte. I have been quilting for about 4 years - but been sewing for more than 30. I have quilt #12 or 13 on the frame now - most of them of late have been baby quilts (I've put the word out to my family "no more babies") at least until I get my own kids a quilt made. lol

Hope to get started on the BOM soon and get caught up - when I do I'll post pictures.

Welcome from Maine. This is a great place. Hope you aren't getting any of the awful storms down there.

Piedmont, I am outside of Troy, in a small community called Ophir. If you know anything about the Uwharrie National Forest , then you know the area. I go to Mary Jo's at least 4 or 5 times a year. My Hubby is good about going and carrying my bolts for me. I have 2 sons who live near and work in Charlotte. I know what you mean about setting limits at MJ's Half of my stash has come from there. You will love this board, it,s lots of fun! D

Hi and welcome from Georgia. Glad to have you with us.

Welcome for another NC member. You are so close to MaryJo's. I have to plan a trip to Charlotte to visit my niece, drop off some pillow cases for a kids' charity, and swing by MaryJo's.
