Re: Let's tell all our newbies a thing or two...
I just joined the Forum boards today although I have been ordering from Missouri Star for years. Decided to read the intro board and yours caught my eye. We live in Ohio but snowbird in Mesa, AZ. What part of AZ are you in? We are considering a permanent there but it's a BIG decision. Our best friends are moving into our same community out there next Saturday. Hope to hear from you.
Re: Let's tell all our newbies a thing or two...
Hi I'm Kelly from Ontario, Canada. I'm 57 with 2 daughters and 6 granddaughters and 1 grandson.
I guess I really started quilting about 18 years ago. We use to camp and I was so bored I sewed a crazy quilt top and decided to tie it. Well there's not a lot of room in a trailer for that and most of my quilting was quess work. We ended up laying the backing, baton and top over a large dog crate. We pinned and then tied. I had so much fun I quess that was the start.
But then life gets busy and I didn't do much until I watched Jenny's tutorials. She made it look so easy.
Well I've now made about 6 quilts and love every bit of it.
Now that the kids have moved on I have time and plan on making all my grandchildren a quilt for their 18 birthday.
When I'm not quilting I work in a nursing home.
Other than that my other passions are reading and riding my motorcycle.
