    Hi,

    I've been lurking on this board for weeks and finally decided to join. I've been sewing since I was 14. Mostly garment sewing. I got into quilting in a big way after I retired from nursing. My goal is to make a quilt for all our kids, grandkids, and greats. My husband has 6 kids, 15 grands, and 10 greats with 2 more on the way. I have 2 kids and 12 grandkids. Total of 47. The greats get a crib quilt at birth. They are done. And I have 20 of the rest finished.

    I've drifted more to a landscape type of quilt. I love pictorial quilts. Could spend hours looking at quilts online and often do so.

    I feel as if I know most of you by reading your introductions and your posts. You sound like a busy bunch of quilters.

    How about this link, if I do it right. I don't have the 9 quilts I have made this year on my webshots yet. I need to finish the bindings and then they will be ready to gift.
