:thumbup: My friend introduced me to this website. Glad to be on board. I am a Quilt Judge and Long-armer. I love to hand piece when time allows it. I enjoy meeting others and especially road trips to other fabric shops.

Welcome from Southeastern, PA!

Hello and welcome from Alabama :-D :-D :-D

Welcome, and make yourself at home......We also love pictures of your work!

We are always worried about the quilt police.

Does that mean the quilt police can actually bring us quilters to court and you determine our fine for mistakes in our quilts? LOL

I think your expertise will help a lot of us, especially if we want to enter a challenge, etc. Welcome and so glad you joined.

Speaking as a quilt judge, what is your take on the magazines and designers, etc claiming long-time public domain quilt blocks and "designing" derivative works (which they say 'we' can't do without THEIR permission), and then stating that we have to ask permission to show their derivative quilts made with public domain blocks??

Welcome to the board. As a judge you are sure to get lots of questions here! So glad to have you join us. Would love to see pictures of your longarm work. I just got an Innova but have not had the opportunity to do much with it yet.

Hi, welcome from Minnesota!

hello and welcome to the board from Akron, Ohio I know you will love it here. Careful tho, you divulged you are a judge. You just may have a ton of questions coming your way in your future. No, I'm not psychic, lol. Enjoy yourself here!! Glad to have you.

Welcome to the Quiltingboard. Yes, I think you may have set yourself up. I also think if you minded being a resource you would not have told us your area of expertise. We are very glad to have you join us. We do tend to lean on those who know. Thank you for all the help you will give us.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!

Welcome from North Central PA.
I don't think I will ever be brave enough to enter a show, but I would certainly be elated to hear any tips you have on improving my quilting. I just bought a Juki on a frame and while not a longarm, I am sure some of the nifty tips you could provide would be of much help to me just starting out on the frame type quilting.

Besides all of the questions I am sure you will be showered with, this is a very supportive group of folks in every way. Sew glad you could join us. And don't forget we love pics! ;-)

Welcome from Minnesota - glad to have you here!

Waving High And Wide from Missouri. Glad to meet your acquaintance, B'dette. I will be watching for your reply to the above since it holds my interest. Seems like I can never finish a quilt to an exact pattern so perhaps I will never have a problem. lol Yet, I wonder about this as I have used a block pattern from a magazine but set it up in a lap quilt as I saw fit.

Hello B"dette Austin quilt show is in Sept. Are you judging that one or are we to far away

hello and Welcome from Illinois
oh my you letting us know you are a quilt judge just opened the door for a lot more topics

Welcome from southern CA! We love, love, love pictures! :D

Another welcome from Louisiana. I'm still making squares & rectangles quilts. I'm learning my way up to show quality. At the rate I am going, will take several more years. It's great having you here.

A lot of us would appreciate a critique of longarms & what an experienced person likes & dislikes about the different ones. Hope you have time to start a conversation thread like that. Ay-eeee as they say down here.

Welcome!
