Hello everyone!

I've lurked for a couple of days, posted on Friday last week looking for help regarding basket weaving a quilt ... and got lots of responses and help! Thanks very much for the warm welcome, and generous responses!

My preference for quilting is to go on pinterest / or google images of quilts and take an idea and go from there.

I have only sewn one quilt from a pattern and hated it LOL ... oh my the restrictions LOL and the structure ... what fun is that?

I don't name my quilts, nor do I know the names of 99% of them since I just wing it.

I sew about 15-20 of them over the winter and donate them the following Christmas to a variety of charities.

Here's the latest one I am donating (I do KNOW the name of this pattern LOL ... tumbling blocks!)

Welcome, from Texas. Your quilt is gorgeous!

Welcome from SC. Texas. Love your quilt.

welcome from southeastern Pennsylvania. You will definitely get a lot of great ideas and really good advice and help on this forum.

Welcome from Vermont.

Thanks all! That is one of my favourites ... hard to donate, but there's no more room on the walls!

Welcome from Louisiana, glad you found the site. Lovely tumbling blocks. I also am horrible with names of patterns, blocks, etc. I just look at pic's and go from there. You're not alone.

Welcome from the beautiful mountains of western NC. You have presented a beautiful quilt. You will enjoy this site immensely.

Welcome from New Jersey. Beautiful tubling block quilt....one of my favorite patterns. Hubs and I get to your lovely city Labor day weekend for the balloon festival in Gatineau each year and have a wonderful time.

Welcome from Michigan!:) Beautiful Quilt!

Ah Yes, the balloon festival ... all the tourists love it, and yet all the residents leave the city as fast as possible! They are alot of fun to watch! I brought my parrot outside to watch once, she was not a fan!

Hi Marion welcome aboard. I enjoyed looking at your beautiful tumbling blocks quilt. My hometown is Ottawa as well, although we are currently living abroad in Panama. I recently joined this board - a great way to connect with others who share a passion for creating and quilting!

ohCanada! What a great place to be this time of year! I certainly wish I could be away from all this cold ... and the snow that is yet to come! None yet, but I'm sure when it comes, it'll be a doozy!

Sorry to hear the parrot was not happy with us!

Welcome to the board from New Hampshire. Your quilt is beautiful! I have always wanted to make a Tumbling blocks quilt.
