I just discovered your forum here and registered right away!
I happened to be searching for the dates of the quilt show in Lancaster, PA and found a post here and discovered you folks.
I consider myself a newbie to quilting. I was 40 years old before I even sat at a sewing machine. My mom had been quilting beautiful things for years and I had always admired them, but didn't know how to sew. So, I just said, "very nice."
She bought me (to my surprise) this basic little Janome sewing machine and taught me how to stitch and told me about the quarter inch seam.
That was three years ago. Since then, I've made to full sized bed covering quilts, made numerous lap quilts, table setting items, several artsy wall hangings and have been quilting handbags.
I'll be looking around here and posting pics!
Nice to meet you all.

Welcome to the boards. I read them everyday. I don't always respond but I look forward to reading and looking at all the quilts that everyone has made.
I too am from Maryland. I am on the Eastern Shore, what part of MD are you from?
I find alot of patterns here that I just keep adding to my list of things I want to do. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day to do what I want to.
Welcome, Barb

Nice to meet a fellow Marylander/quilter.
I'm from Anne Arundel County, just west over the bridge from you. I have occassion to visit ES, Maryland for work.
I have been kicking around the idea of creating a quilt that encapsulates life in Maryland. But, no time.
Of course, if I do, it will have some marshy scenes and ducks and Ches. Bay Retreivers, crabs, etc.
I think that this will always be just a project in mind rather than one on the drawing board, so to speak.

I lived in Anne Arundel up until almost 2 yrs ago. My family (ex, and three children and grandchildren) live in the Pasadena area. I am on that side of the bridge quite frequently.
I am just 30 miles from the bridge. Nice to see someone so close.
