G'day,
My name is Laura but you can call me Lozza. I live in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
I am only an amateur quilter, but have the bug and I love it. It is my stress relief. However, I work every morning and night and am currently studying nursing at university full-time. This means that my time that I have to quilt is very limited. I work on it every chance I can get.
When I was younger, I attended a quilting guild with my mother occasionally. I loved chatting with the ladies whilst stitching. They are great memories.
I also love gardening and have a huge interest for flowers and love photographing and learning as much as I can about them. This interest also overlaps into my quilting projects as I generally incorporate flowers of some sort into them. I also love working with pinks and greens.
I look forward to getting to know you better and checking out all your wonderful projects.

Welcome!
I just found Toowoomba on the map. Wasn't actually looking for it, I was on the map of Australia trying to figure out HOW to take the train from Alice Springs to Perth.
Anyway...welcome and have fun like I am!

Welcome to the Quilting Board Lozza! My sister & brother-in-law recently moved back to California from Queensland (Macleay Island). I think we may have at least driven thru' Toowoomba when I was there on holiday! What a lovely place to be if you've a love for flowers :D
It sounds like you have a full plate, working and going to school for nursing. Be sure to take a little time for quilting now & again. And we'd love to see some of your work too!
You might also like to check out the University of British Columbia's Botanical Garden website - I subscribe to their "Botany Photo of the Day". They're usually lovely, sometimes creepy, but always have lots of info - http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/ . Best of all, it's free! lol
