My name is Barbara. I live in L.A. (Lower Alabama, that is)
I am a quilter and retired school teacher. I have done a little quilting since the late 70's and early 80's. I really got serious about it 4 or 5 years ago. I have dropped all other hobbies to pursue this one. I just can't sew fast enough to complete everything I want to do, but I sure work at it. I have lots of patterns and books and will be happy to share.

Welcome, Barbara!! I am in Bakersfield, CA. You'll like it here...lots of nice people.

Hello from another Indiana Hoosier!!!

Hi Barbara. Welcome. I, too, came to quilting later in life, after retirement, and I can relate to feeling there isn't enough time to do all that I would like to. However, I plan to do as much as I can and enjoy all of it. I hope you do too.

hello and welcome from NJ!

Hello Barbara and welcome from CT.

Welcome from Jonesborough, TN
Glad you are with us! Looking forward to seeing some of your work!

Thank you very much. i hope you escaped damage from the terrible tornado that ripped through there recently. Are there any good quilt shops in Tuscaloosa? I must usually drive from 20-100 miles to find one. We do have a good discount fabric shop here. Good quality cottons for $3.99 per yard. It may not be this year's fabric, and of course the selection is limited, but I can usually find something that will work.

Thank you. I will be traveling to your state in Oct. I dont know if I will have time to shop or not.

Thank you for the welcome!

Thank you for the warm Southern welcom.

I thoroughly enjoy it. I say "Full-speed ahead!"
