We were wondering where all the quilters were hanging out on the web, now we know!

Looks like a lot of good info here and a great sense of togetherness and helpfulness.

A little intro: we're from western Nevada, have been married for almost 43 years, and have been running an online quilting shop for about 3 years. Cindy quilts up a storm, rides her horses and teaches an occasional quilting class. Don cooks, does the programming for the shop, and rides motorcycles. We're both transplants from Minnesota to the high Sierra after retiring from a big company a few years ago.

We hope to learn a lot from this forum as well as contribute a bit to the vast knowledge base here.

Happy Quilting!

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

By popular request, here's a picture of Cindy's latest, as yet un-quilted project. It used the Cactus Wreath pattern by Cozy Quilt Designs and about a gazillion different Hoffman Batiks and hand-dyes. It's shown here on a queen sized bed, so it's a large quilt top.

Welcome from NH!!!

OK, so time to fess up. This is Don. Cindy is in Minnesota, today is our grandson's 7th birthday there. I'm back home keeping the critters fed and the store running. She'll be back in a couple of days and will be posting with this same account, I'm sure. This is such a great board that I couldn't resist getting started on it! :D

Cindy has been quilting for about 10 years or so on a regular basis, especially in the last 5 or 6 years since we moved out west. She's made many many beautiful projects for the kids and for around our home. She does a lot of her own quilting on her regular sewing machine, including freehand machine quilting and ditch-stiching on various sized pieces. We don't have a long arm machine so for really special projects we have a couple places we send those out to to have quilted.

I'm a hopeless fumbler when it comes to piecing. I went to a class a year or so ago for beginners and by the end of the first class I think I was three classes behind. :mrgreen: Just couldn't seem to get the knack.

I love fabrics though, and love the business and especially all the nice people we've met since we started it.

Beautiful quilt!!!! And welcome to the board from W. TN :D

Well, we are glad to meet ya! Ya know, there are ALOT of he-quilters here; and they are FANTASTIC! Maybe you may want to try something all alone and surprise Cindy so when she comes home you will have a small quilt-let waiting for her!:-)

Welcome to you from Tennessee. :)

Welcome from NY. Love the Sierras. My brother has a place in Truckee on the CA side near Tahoe. The quilt you pictured is beautiful.

Cindy's latest is awesome. I bet you, Don, would be good at long arm quilting. Is that next on your things for your business?
