Hello from Juneau, Alaska. My name is Kathy Buell and I have been quilting since my grandma taught me when I was 11 years old, wow that was 32 years ago. I have 3 beautiful grown daughters that have alwasys slept under quilts or afgans that I made. My oldest twin still sleeps with her baby blank. (she is 22 and married) I have been reading your posts and looking at the beautiful quilts that all of you make and thought that I would try posting a few of my own. Now, I want all of you to keep in mind that I am not a pro at quilting and I'm still learning with every quilt that I do. I like to piece my quilts on the mechine but I either hand tie them or quilt them by hand, mostly in the ditch. I have yet to have a perfect quilt top but my kids think the the flaws are what make them great and it is the love that I put in them that counts. Oh and by the way, I live in Juneau, Alaska and no I didn't vote for Sara P., she really isn't all that, really. Anyway, I will try to post some pictures of quilts that I have done over the past year or so. Wish me luck.

Hello....

I am in Arkansas and my friend, I met in my sewing circle lives in Alaska part time and here in Arkansas part time! She usually gets here late in the Fall, I am going to tell her all about you and this forum....I might even call her over the weekend, so she can join this forum before she returns to Arkansas. She is a very talented quilter like yourself.

Nearly certain, you will love this board....I DO!

Hello, and welcome from Missouri! We all started quilting somewhere and have gotten better with time and experience! We LOVE pictures! :lol:

Thank You. Where in Alaska is your friend from?
I posted two quilts that I have done this year just a few moments ago.

It is true, we all have to start somewhere. I just posted two quilts that I made this year.
I'm hoping to learn a thing or two from eveyone here.

Welcome, I'm fairly new myself, but I spend a lot of time here (when I'm not sewing). I really enjoy the varied topics & seeing the great quilts being made. Enjoy!

Welcome from Kansas! I was in Alaska in September, had the most amazing vacation! Juneau was rainy and cold, but I loved it! I am preparing to start a quilt of forget-me-not flowers. It's so precious, I love that flower!

I know you will enjoy this board, warning though - it is very addictive. :-)
