Hello, I have been quilting since October of last year. My 46 year old cousin passed away on Xmas Eve from a year long battle of lung cancer. We spent the last 3 months of her life having her teach me how to quilt. I then was diagnosed with a nerve disease and the quilting has become my much needed therapy. I hand sew all my quilt tops and I quilt every single day and don't know what my life would be without it!!! I am happy to be here and happy to have a great site to see so many great projects and get some great advice. Happy Quilting!!

Nice hand quilting.

Welcome from Ireland. Your work is beautiful.

Thank you everybody!! I learned from being in the quilting stores that quilters are the most friendly and nice people and this site just proves it!!! You all have made me feel so welcome. I am already addicted!! I love looking at all the wonderful things that people have made.

I am so glad I could motivate you. I was a cross stitcher for about 25 years prior to learning how to quilt, so the hand stitching comes very easy to me. I would love to see your project when you finish!!!!

Hello and welcome from Texas. Your hand quilting is beautiful and so is your quilt. You will make lots of friends here.

I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Was she a quilter also? You are correct, I have such great memories and I do think of Ferz (Jennifer) every single time I quilt. I was given the honor of doing her Eulogy and I talked a lot about this wonderful gift she gave me. She would have LOVED this site.

Hi and another Texas welcome. I love that animal fabric. It is so adorable! Your quilting is nicely done, beginner or no. Glad you joined us here. I too was introduced to quilting by a friend, who was diagnosed with cancer shortly thereafter. I hope she knows I've kept it up. It was such a special gift from her to me. Everything I do keeps her in my heart.
