Hi Miranda--Thanks for the welcome. I'm what I believe is a New beginner. I did a 6 week beginner class but felt intimadated as I had NEVER quilted and everyone else had taken several classes and HAD several different machines. When I got home I told my hubby I was sorely lacking in equipment! So, I've been trying to learn on my own thru trial and error. My gardening is limited to flowers now although in the past we did vegetables.

Hi--Thanks for the welcome. I'm a new beginner and haven't done too many quilts. Most have been small wall hangings and I do have pictures. Will need to figure out how to post them. I'm looking forward to being a part of the group and hope I can add to the helpful advice.

Hi and welcome Carrie! I know you are going to love it here. Everyone is full of helpful advice. I love gardening too. We are finally almost finished moving, which means, I get to start planning my patio with my lovely flower gardens for the spring. Oh, I can't wait. Well, really I shouldn't say planning, as it is already planned in my head. LOL! I seldom find time to read anymore, but oh how I used to love getting swept away in books.

Do you still have this wallhanging? Will you post a picture, please?

Also, I know it's late but, Welcome to our quilting home!

Hi Celeste--The Old Man in the Mountain is by Teresa Drummond and I purchased it at Keepsake Qulting in Center Harbor, NH. It is a four season wall hanging but I did just one panel of it.

Gorgeous - looks just like profile Mountain.Used to go camping near there in Franconia Notch. I miss mountains.

That's really nice! I especially like the fabrics you chose. Now he's immortalized on a mountain, coin and quilt! Though I believe I heard he's no longer on the mountain? I was so sad to hear that!
