Hello, I'm new as you guess. I'm from North Central Oklahoma. I've been in New Mexico fr the last 8 years, now I have moved back home. I'v been a sewer snce I was 7 learning embrodery, crocheting, and knitting. My Grandmothers passing in the 80's led me to learn from my Aunt how to Lap Quilt, luckly I saved every scrap and it has been put into a kalediscope patten. For the next 15 years or so I hardly touched a machine. Then my Mother was introduced to Quilting. The she introduced me. I was hooked, my mother passed 2/12 years ago unexpectedly on a road trip. I have been devistated ever since. She was my best friend. I am crying now as i write about her. I moved back home to be close to my daughter 12 grand children and Aunties. Who also Quilt. Like a quilt. It binds material together so do the strings of our family and I am lucky to have mine.

Hello and welcome from Ontario.

I'm a newbie on this board too. I'm almost a quilter (in Edmond), but just recently put two quilts in our local guild show. One was in the first quilt category and received a honorable mention, so there you are.
Welcome to the board and back to OK. I don't know how far north you are, but know there is a guild in Ponca City. Guilds are so great for answering questions by other members and giving inspiration.

Welcome from OKC. I have been in the local guild here 22+ years. Let me know if you want info.
