New quilter

[brendadawg]

Hello, everyone. I just found this wonderful forum! I'm a little bit past the "beginner" stage, but have a long way to go. I've done mostly simple things for Project Linus; but now I'm venturing into the bed-size quilts. My plan is to make my siblings quilts for Christmas. We'll see which Christmas (LOL). I'm a "snowbird", Georgia in winter and Minnesota in summer. I look forward to learning lots from all you gals.

Re: New quilter

welcome!! glad you found us...love Project Linus...I just adopted a marine platoon in afghanistan and I am rounding up my quilting friends to start a "quilts of valor" group....such worthwhile things for our wonderful quilts to go to!!! I think that everyone needs a comfy quilt to make them feel safe and warm...

Re: New quilter

Shell... great idea. As the recipient of a QOV I can tell you they mean a lot to us. I have a spent a wee bit of time with the chapter that gave me mine - wonderful women every one.. and i have also made and gathered blocks for Home of The Brave.. that group has a little different focus than QOV, they serve the families of the fallen .. there are many links to be found just entering 'Home Of The Brave' .. I hope some of you will check out both resources in your respective areas. Yes, a little bit of home, a bit of personal attention , knowing someone cares means so much.
Thanks Shell for bringing up QOV.. and I hope your group grows and grows. While there is a need.

That's' me holding the quilt - and the Chapter Pres has just awarded it to me ... perhaps you can tell, this chapter accepts fabric donations and the quilts reflect that mix.. I have seen many in just RWB but when I asked, I suggeted one that was 'girley' would be nice. I use it often... and truely appreciate the Thank You label that reflects my years of service.

Edited to say - I'm sorry I forgot to say Hellow and welcome to Brendadawg! Hello there you will like it here

Welcome, this is a great site and the MSQC girls are the best with ideas and advise. I just am so lucky to be two towns over and I am bad that I do not visit enough. Enjoy!
