My name is Suzanne and I am new to this website. . . Well, I've been looking at the pics and keep thinking that they are way better than I can do.

I have been quilting for a couple years, and can't seem to find enough time to sew. I decided to start teaching myself to quilt when I was pregnant with my first daughter. Right when you seem to lose all extra time. :) Oh, well.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. I hope you all have a productive day.

Well, it is sunny here in MN, and finally not snowing. :) Thank heavens!

I am very happy to have found this site. I just wish I would have found it when I first was trying to teach myself to sew.

I am glad to find so many wonderful people.

Suzanne,
Welcome aboard!! I'm new here, too and a relatively new quilter. I have very little time as well and lose sleep to quilt as a busy mom. Everyone seems very nice here & willing to help the newbies with advice.
