Thanks so much for your series on home machine quilting. Not only did l learn a lot from Jan., Feb. & Mar. postings, but l also had fun getting "sidetracked" by the related postings/videos.Since retiring, I've finally had the time to persue a continuing journey of improvement on all my quilting skills. Machine quilting was intimidating at first, but as techniques improve, so does confidence!

Hello and welcome!  I just love your blog!!!!  It's one of my favorites!  I've seen your posts a few times on the C&T website.  Are you a part of their creative troupe?

I'm in a small town without any real life quilting friends so I joined this site in hopes of meeting people; once I joined some of the groups it was much easier; everyone has been so friendly and helpful!  I hope you'll enjoy it here as much as I do!
