I have been reading the board for a while and decided to hop in! Quilting has taken over my life since my first quilt several years ago. I love trying new techniques and seeing if I can improve on them- I like to finish FAST!
My fav thing to create are wall hangings to give as gifts. My family actually argue over the darn things! Quilting brings a joy to my life that was missing before...I feel more complete now....if that makes sense.
Love to talk to anyone about sewing!

Wlecome to the Quilting Board - this is a great bunch of quilters, and I am sure you will get many new friends here, and many more ideas to add to that list of quitls to do. unfortunatley, finding more time is left up to you! LOL Your wall quilts are beautiful, no wonder the family argues over who gets it! Have a great day.

Welcome to the board from Washington State. I know what you mean about the joy quilting brings to your life. The process (and the fabric of course) can be a good friend when you need one. Your wallhangings are lovely! Can't wait to see more. :)

Am relieved that someone does understand! Quilting has gotten me through very tough times and even helped me to like myself better. Thanks for writing.
