Hello Everyone, I am a Newbie living in England. I came across your forum while searching the internet for instructions on how to make a quilted Sweatshirt jacket. I found lots of help here and soon discovered what a knowledgeable and freindly bunch you ladies are. I hope to learn and get encouragement from you, exchange ideas and make new freinds. I am a crafter living in the English countryside with my family and 2 dogs. I have been exchanging fabric postcards and making fabric dolls, I am quite an experienced knitter and have done patchwork, I make beaded jewellery and draw and paint. I'm hoping to learn quilting next. Best wishes Kat www.railwaycottage.blogspot.com

Thankyou ladies for your warm welcomes! Mary, my Husband travels to Dallas twice a year on business. He says he never has time to do any shopping, I think he is afraid I will give him a long list and send him into a quilting shop!
You asked about pics, I have a Blog where I show pics of what I'm working on, along with art made by freinds, so you might find that interesting. I am presently working on a Hexagon lap quilt, which is hand peiced with paper templates. I am nearly ready to make the "sandwich" and I would like to hand quilt it. I will be hoping for advice and encouragement with this next step :D

I looked at your blogspot and liked what I saw..the dolls are really interesting. we have a doll swap here but these are arm and leg ones, maybe you would like to get in on that.

I am interested in your dog, thats really why I went to your blog just to look for more info. Is it just the picture or does he really have a long pointy nose. i have never seen a dog that looks like that Please tell me about her :wink:

welcome from New York
