    Default Hello from Ontario, Canada
    So many lovely quilts, so little time
    I am a hand quilter, started in the Seventies, when we were all in to macrame, pottery and quilting, thank goodness only the quilting stuck.
    I take my bitts and pcs when I travel, so it's nice to remember where some of my quilts have been pieced.
    I only ever attempted one full size quilt, rest are either "youth size" for grandchildren or lap quilts.
    The picture are of My sewing room...
    Baby quilt I started for my third baby and finished in time for his first baby
    The last is of my bedroom "throw quilt" started in NM finish in Yukon, so well travelled.
    Looking forward to working my way thru the forum to admire all the beautiful work.

    Welcome! You have a lovely sewing room! I started a quilt for one of my sons when he was a pre-teen. He got it after he was married! I understand! LOL

    Welcome from Southern California. I am with you with memories sewn into your beautiful work. When I look at my quilts I remember where they were made, too, and who I was with when I bought the fabric -- it's a travel around the world experience and brings back people who are no longer with me. I think we both have many quilt memories left to make!

    Sending a warm welcome from Delaware. Such a tidy workspace. My space looks more like a bomb went off! LOL Lovely quilts.

    The picture was taken strategically, the other half is a home to shelving you wouldn't want to see
