send us a picture Kitty when you get it done.
happy quilting!

Hi annia,
yes i remember Hildalgo well. all the beautiful ceramics there.

as for a quilting teacher, you could see if Fame has quilting classes. I taught painting through Fame when i was living there.
I also volunteered at a home for girls and boys called "Posada de Maria". it is still in operation but has since changed location. The idea was to teach the girls sewing (lots of quilting) as a way to get secondary income while they attended school. eventually most of the 13 girls got through college. They were girls from the countryside who would not ordinarily have had this opportunity. They now have a new crop of kids. It was very rewarding working with them and I remember those days with such fondness.
it's fun to talk to somebody so close to my ole stompin grounds! I picture you there in the nice sunny weather. (I am in cold michigan.) :)

hi Feathers, thank you for looking at my web site! so much applause!!! thank you , thank you.

Kitty, you're going to love it here. I'm a new quilter, too, from California. You know the saying about a picture being worth a thousand words? It really applies here. I get so many ideas just looking at everyone's quilts, my mind is on overload most of the time!
Welcome, welcome, welcome

Hi KittyQ. Welcome on board and we're glad you found us too. Can't wait to see your quilt. I like the prairie queen block.

Welcome Kitty! I'm just like you - new to quilting- the difference is that you actually know how to sew!!! We're glad you found us too... have fun!

Kitty,

I grew up in IN - where do you live? I grew up in Franklin. Spent 18 years there!!! Welcome to quilting - a wonderful hobby and now a wonderful group of people you've found!! :)

Hi reva, I am south of indy. I am very glad I found this group :mrgreen: . I am taking my time at getting my quilt done. I think I learn with every new block I make. HAPPY TO BE HERE :thumbup:

Kittyq would you mind showing us some of your progress?

We had a lot of fun watching barnbum getting her barn quilt together.

Kitty,

Franklin in south of Indy!!! I guess it depends on how far south you are, but there is a NEAT quilt store in Greenwood - The Back Door - if you want to check it out... I've been there once, but will go again once I get back to IN - I live in FL now and get up there once a year or so...
