Hi, I'm new to this board and still trying to figure out how to use it. I keep getting lost! I live in central NYS, fingerlakes area and have been quilting for about 15+ years. I started out hand quilting which I still love but due to arthritic joints have trouble using a thimble so learning how to do free motion quilting. Before the quilting, I used to sew all of my 2 daughters dresses, most of my clothes including some lingerie and some items for my husband. Guess I got burned out as I quit sewing altogether for a few years except for mending when necessary. Then we moved to NC for a few years and everyone there was quilting so that's when I got back into it. My other hobbies are genealogy, basketmaking and boating. We lived on our boat in NC and that is where I also learned to make baskets. I still love doing that but there is not enough time to do everything!

Welcome! I understand your dilema about projects. I try to tell myself I can't buy something for another quilt til I finish something - sometimes it works! :-)
Love your picture of the water falls. It reminds me of Multnomah Falls in Oregon where I'm originally from.

Hello! Well, now you're making me jealous! Living on a boat, living near a waterfall? Sounds like a great gig!

Thanks so much for the welcomes! I'm looking forward to all of your chatting and help. At the moment I am working on a bunny quilt for a new baby due in a week or so. Think I bit off more than I can chew but it's almost done. Then two more baby quilt due in June. That doesn't count the UFO's in my box. I just got a newer Pfaff (2034), so learning to use it.
PS It looks like I put my picture in the wrong place, how do I get it on the side like all of your's?
