Hello

I am retired and so is my husband. I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren.

Hi from Ohio!

Good morning and welcome from Massachusetts!! :-D

This is a great site to learn about quilting. Plus, I think that no matter how long we have been quilting we are still learning more and more each day from the wonderful members of this forum.

Hello and welcome from NE Ohio!!

welcome

good morning to everyone. I never liked to have my picture taken because they never look very good. I quit smoking a little more than 3 years ago and gained weight. I never tried to lose any ,I just keep on eating and gained over 30 lbs. So this is what I look like.

Welcome from Chattanooga, TN...I've got to be an intermediate quilter by now but still consider myself a beginner. Every quilt I make is a "practice piece" and if it comes out decent then it's a masterpiece!!!! Even did one on line with Bethany Reynolds the Stack and Whack lady and it turned out great with no problems... As the saying goes - once I learned how to quilt - I forgot how to cook cause I spend 99% of time quilting!!!!

Welcome Kathy, Hope you enjoy your time spent here. And good for you, for giving up such a hard habit to break. Happy quilting.
