I have been looking on here for awhile and love all the pictures of your sewing and animals. I have only did jean quilts. Mostly I like doing smaller things like table runners, tote bags, Barbie clothes. Batik fabrics are my favorite. I have all this batik fabric that I just keep buying and looking at. Right now I'm working on table toppers using a hexigon template. I mostly make stuff for our church picnic and church prime rib dinners.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!

Hello and welcome from the UK!

My brother use to live Okla. He was a brick layer and didn't like being so high up in the air laying brick with the wind blowing the board he stood on. This is the best quilting forum I have found.

Glad to be here.

Love your dog picture.

Hello, and another welcome from Michigan!

Hi, and welcome from St. Paul, Minnesota!!!!!

I took care of my neighbor's house, cat and garden while she was in Alaska for a week. She brought me back a gift for taking care of her home. I also love batik and she knows it. She brought me back six fat quarters of batik. On the label it says "A gift from Alaska - The Quilted Raven".

They are absolutely fantastic, lavender, purple, almost black purple; shades of red, red-orange and orange leaves; maple leaves, oak leaves in a blue background with yellow, gold, maroony-reds and shades of green; goldish background with green shaded moose walking on greeny type ground and trees; aqua, purple, orange shaded colors of little Eskimo children (and you have to look close to see that they are children) and a purple and chartreuse swirly fabric. They are absolutely fantastic.

I just tell you this because maybe you are interested in Alaskan batik. It is The Quilted Raven - 650 W. 4th Avenue, Ancorage, Alaska 99501, (907)278-3521.

I am making her a Sampler quilt for Christmas (coverlet) and one of the blocks will be of pieces from each one of the fat quarters.

Just a thought! Edie

Hi and welcome from Arizona

Welcome from another "lurker" in E. Tenn. I read, enjoyed and learned for months before I joined in. This is such a great board with some very smart, talented, and always helpful members.

The only pictures I have with just leftover fabric that I made clothes with. Will have to dig for them. I traded plastic canvas patterns for Barbie furniture in a sewing forum years back. I forgot what country she was from. She e-mailed copies of old Barbie clothes patterns that I had back in the 70's. Mine had wore out. Now I bought a lot when I could get them cheap. I now iron interfacing on the back so they last longer. A couple of years ago Vogue came out with retro patterns of old Barbie patterns so I bought more. I do that with clothes patterns I like and use a lot too before I can't get anymore of the pattern.

We had 6 inches of rain last night, a foot of water on our street. One time we had 3 feet on the street. Our house is on the hill so we don't have to worry. A lot of bridges washed and high ways were shut. Husband couldn't go to work today. 40 miles south of us had 13 inches. All this goes into the Mississippi River.

I forgot to tell you I clip all the sleeves and press before I sew them for the Barbie clothes. I started making them in 1968 for my godchild with leftover fabric. Now I have a stash just for Barbie clothes. How crazy is that.
