Hi--I'm new to the group and a beginning quilter. I'm learning by trial and error and have done my share of removing stitches. Love fabric stores and call it my eye candy. Always looking for a good quality bargain and stash shows it. Also love to read and do a little gardening.

Welcome! This site is very helpful and the people are a lot of fun to boot :!: Never a harsh word, always someone around to offer advice or a shoulder to lean on. You'll love it here :!: Just don't cross ole Patrice :lol: She got mean and lopped poor ole Tim's toe off and is holding it for ransome :!: :lol:

Hi Carrie. Glad you hopped on the board. You will find quilters in all stages of learning and techniques, garden tips and so much more. Welcome! :D

Welcome to one of the friendliest places on the web. I also am a beginner and I also am always on the look out for bargain fabric to add to my statsh. I also am no stranger to the seam ripper. :) Please post pics of your quilts we all love to see the talent of others.

Hi, Carrie! Welcome! This is my favorite site, and I'm sure it will be your new fave, too.
I think we have a little bit of everything here. We're a group of quilters, but you can get advice for ANYTHING! :D
I like to garden, as well, but this is the first year we didn't put a out a garden! I still have some things growing on the porch in pots, though.

Hi Carrie - welcome - qulting, gardening, & reading are 3 of my favorite things too. What are you reading?

I'm new here, too, but welcome!

Hi Vicki--I've been reading different postings and find the topics and answers great. That is what prompted me to join. This group is a first for me. I'll be sure to watch out for Patrice!

Hi Cathe--And a big welcome to you. Are you a new beginner quilter like me? My very first quilt was a mini wallhanging of The Old Man of the Mountain [I'm from NH] with MANY SMALL pieces. I'm looking forward to learning from this group.

Hi AnnMarie--I'm not reading anything at the moment but just finished " A Year in the Maine Woods" by Bernd Heinrich. My reading is eclectic with personal stories a favorite, some history and more than my share of mysteries. What do you like to read?
