Hello, well i finally decided to join. I have been here for a long time now but i never had the nerve to join. I am quite shy and like to stay in the background. I have been making quilts now for a few years and i have learnt so much from you all. Your work just leaves me speechless. i love it all. i hope one day to be as good. I have been married now for 34 years and have two grown kids and three grandbabies. As soon as i figure out how i will post pictures of some of my quilts.
Have a great day all

Hi Kathy! I am from PA, too, Pennsburg, near Quakertown. Are you familiar with either place? I am shy too, but love to see what everyone is doing! Maybe some day I will get un-shy and show something I have done . . . . maybe! So nice to meet you! Are you in Berks County, or is the town, city, etc. called Berks? Char

Welcome Kathy from another PA quilter.

hi stitchinfind: I'm chris i'm from clearfield county in pa.

welcome :D

have you visited the quilters chat room? they are great chatters (group of quilters) we chat about anything plus quilting.

you don't have to chat on it but visit it & just read the conversations people talk about.

feel free to pm me if you are homesick for a pa quilter.

Norabanadquilts is from the lower border part of pa.

Oh, norabanaquilts tells me there are alot of quilters here that are from pa & we are going to try & maybe meet someplace in the middle to meet & greet plus do some sewing if possible. If we can, we would like to do a weekend retreat someplace in pa.

Would you like to be involved in meeting, greeting, & maybe going on a retreat.

I know you said your shy, but God does open doors ;-)

pm me & let me know please what you think, alright?

Welcome from MN! I went to middle school and high school in PA - West Chester to be exact - and will be going back in September for my 20th hs reunion! I would LOVE to visit Chester County Quilts while I am there - and any other place that is somewhat close to West Chester! Can you tell me where it is and give me some more ideas of where to quilt shop??

Thanks - and again, welcome!!!
