Welcome from Oklahoma with a Massachusetts accent. So happy you could be here. There is always room for one more quilter.

Hello! Sorry for the delayed response. We were out of town at our property where we go for fishing, relaxing and getting away.

Both my husband and I are from western PA. I was raised in Cochranton and my husband is from Guys Mills - both are close to Meadville. We did see some of your part of the state on our honeymoon - in Hershey!

It is good to be part of this quilting board!

Thank you and thanks for the welcome. I will try to post some larger pictures soon - when I figure out what I am doing. Actually, this quilt was done as a 'baby quilt' for a friend of a co-worker who asked if I would make a baby quilt. I saw a pattern for a cute baby quilt with whimsical bugs, but the person commissioning the quilt wanted bugs/flowers that were true to nature. The quilt ended up double size and needless to say, was a lesson in learning not to say YES, I can do that, until more information is provided! The quilt was done from patterns in a book by Carol Armstrong - I think that was the quilt author. It has been awhile since I did the quilt!

Rusty's Mama!

Hello! Sorry for the delayed respone - I registered for the quilting board then we went out of town and have just returned today! Yes, I am in ea WA - in Otis Orchards. My best friend is from Ritzville! Small world.

Our son that died lived in W Richland so I spend a year and half going between Spokane and the TriCities to be with him and his family.

I see you are a dog lover! Pets are so wonderful! Thanks for your kind words - Rusty is beautiful, but he sure is a handful right now! I read in a dog book that large dogs can take 1 - 4 years to mature!

Look forward to 'talking' with you more!

Thanks for the welcome!

Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome. I am excited to be part of this quilting board and look forward to new friends through a shared passion!

I registered on the 7th and we left to go out of town on the 8th - thus the delay in responding to your welcomes! I was so looking forward to coming home to check the website and it has been a pleasure to hear from all of you.

Thank you. Everyone has been so nice! I love this board and the quilting hints are wonderful.

Rusty's Mama

Thanks for the kind words. I am learning my way around the board slowly. 'Meeting' other quilters through this site and sharing stories, etc is a great connection.

Rusty's Mama

It is so good to read messages from everyone. Thanks for the kind words regarding our son. I have been in therapy most of the afternoon - the quilt room - working on a charity quilt for our guild! Quilting does help. Thanks again!

Rusty's Mama

Thank you. This board is unbelievable. I thoroughly enjoy reading the comments; the quilting hints are great, and the photos are like attending a quilt show. Thanks for the kind words regarding the loss of our son. It is good to be here!
