Quilting in the Ozarks
 

Hi y'all. I'm Carol, but go by rural01. I'm a retired news writer now living in the Arkansas Ozarks. Having moved here from Chicago, my beautiful surroundings have made me feel totally rejuvenated. Quilting feels brand new to me even though I have made about seven quilts in about the last ten years. Finding this board and completing a long-time project has given me new inspiration and interest. My head is racing with ideas for new projects. I want to try the block of the month. Already, some of the photos of quilts contained on this board have inspired me. So, what a great way to start off a new year with a thimble on my finger and a needle in my hand.

Welcome from Ohio! You'll enjoy this site a lot. Should you get stuck or just want some advise, there's always someone willing to help out.

Thanks, I'm getting a sense that I am going to learn a lot here.

Welcome, Carol!

Do you find it a treat - and satisfying - to work with your hands on a tangible project? Working with words, you don't have a product that you can pick up and turn around and feel. It's ... just different.

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Thanks for the greetings
 

I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome. What a nice representation of the country here. I fell in love with quilting about ten years ago. I posted an album on my profile containing the quilts I have made so far. I hope to fill it up with lots more.

I thought I would begin the Block of the month project here. I've almost completed my first block which introduced me to paper piecing for the first time. I'm learning a lot, since I learn from my mistakes. :) I'll finish it today and post it into the appropriate thread.

Thanks y'all for the encouragement. I do hope to learn a bunch here.
