Hello. I will lurk no more as I find that there are a lot of good people here and I want to join in the conversations at times. Quilters are the best people around. My avitar is a quilt that i made recently. Used a layer cake.. Winter by Moda.... and the border is from Hobby Lobby.... I love it. Now I've got to use my stash cause these "designer" fabrics are costly! Thank you all for keeping me company. I have enjoyed all the goings-on and hope to learn something new from everyone!

Hello and welcome from Las Vegas, NV :thumbup:

Welcome bels! Your avatar quilt is very pretty. I've just started using the same fabrics for my blocks in The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt. I love the Winter line and seeing your quilt is very encouraging. Where in Texas are you from? I have lots of family history there.

Thanks! Love Vegas!

Thanks! Rio Grande Valley . What is Farmer's Wife Sampler?

Thanks! Rio Grande Valley. What is the Farmer's Wife Sampler?

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt is a book by Laurie Aaron Hird with instructions for a quilt based on a 1920s magazine contest. There are 111 6" blocks in the quilt. Reading the book is a neat visit back in history.

There is a quilt-along on the Board that just began a few weeks ago. Here's the link to the main thread in case you're interested:

Again, welcome to the Board!

Thanks for the link. Sounds interesting. It'll take me a while to check everything out on this. Actually , it takes me forever to decide what I'm going to do if it has anything to do with quilting! But I love knowing what's out there.Thanks for the warm welcome!

Warm welcome from Singapore, bels! I'm new too and this is such a great forum!
