Hello from Illinois
Hi. I'm Shirley and I am new to quilting board and I live in Illinois. Although I love quilts and quilting, truth be told, I spend more time thinking about quilting than actually doing it. It's hard to find the time to do actual quilting when you work full-time. I do manage to complete a couple of quilts a year though, and that seems to be just enough right now to feed my soul. I'm looking forward to quilting vicariously no doubt, through all of you and to also learn a bit more about quilting and my other sewing passion which is vintage sewing machines.

Welcome from Japan! I used to live in Illinois too! I also work full-time, with a commute, and my advice is to join a few of the block swaps and you will be amazed how much more focused you become!

welcome from central Illinois! I got the quilting bug too, the vintage machine bug, the embroidery bug, sewing bug and little time to do it! Sounds like your in the right place! Shirley, I work full time too so I know what you mean. I think when I retire I will have a great hobby to retire to! That is my plan anyway, so tonite I bought more fabric for my plan. HA! What part of Illinois are you from?
