Welcome from So. Calif.

Welcome from Oklahoma. Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you many happy years together.

Welcome from North Central PA! Congrats on your recent wedding. So glad you got the sewing machine you wanted. I had to smile about the Elm Creek Quilters....I took a quilting class in 2000, but then went back to college....fast forward to Dec 2008, graduation with my Masters. Finally had time to pick up a book other than a textbook, and it was...one of the Elm Creek Quilters books....that sparked the flame and now I am hooked!

Don't forget we love pics!

Congrats on your first block! It does feel good!

Congratulations! I wish you and your husband alot of love and happiness together. I hope he is everything you want him to be and more and you for him! You are a very smart person to ask for what you really want for your wedding gift! That's pretty good! Its like getting the big diamond now instead of waiting for it and getting it years later ! :thumbup: :thumbup:
