I am also new here and would like to say I am so glad to have found this site. I was going through my fabric collection yesterday and frustrated with knowing I could never possibly use everything that I have, googled fabric swaps and this site is one that popped up. Anywho, I've been sewing for quite a long time mainly clothing. My mom (the quilter)passed away 2 years ago unexpectantly, and I inherited her fabric collection and a new Bernina sewing machine. So, I've started quilting. I'm a 40 something year old wife, mother and nurse. I got the name midnite crafter because years ago when my teenagers were babies, the only time I was able to craft or sew was after work 2nd shift, midnite. I also love gardening and ebaying. I love what I've been reading so far and hope to be able to contribute to this site. Thanks.

Welcome!

hmmm...I was wondering about that name midnitecrafter. I'm always passed out by midnight - but bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning! At 5 or 6 in the morning I'm really to jump out of bed and start sewing!

A very warm welcome to you. I am new to this site, also, and have found everyone to be so very kind and friendly. I, too, used to have to do all my sewing throughout the night and early morning....It was the only time I had to do it. Now all my little ones are grown and out of the house. Crazy as it sounds, I miss those old days.

BTW, Joan, I absolutely love your avatar!
