Just a quick HI from California. I'm pretty new to quilting - but have been sewing and knitting since I was a kid - literally. I picked up my first knitting kneedles at 5 and started using my mom's sewing machine for making my doll dresses at 7.
It's great to have forums like this to share ideas and stories from other quilters.
Here's a picture of my all-hand-quilted quilt I made a few months back:

Pretty basic quilt. It has all the colors I love - browns and greens.
I'm in the process of making a few more quilts and I like to keep a journal of my quilting progress at my blog.
The latest completed quilt is one of my favorites that I made for a friend's upcoming baby arrival:

I call this one Baby Rose.

I know! It's been some crazy weather changes this year. I was down in LA last week and it was overcast most of the time.
Yesterday in the Bay Area is was pouring! Today it's pretty mellow so far - but VERY chilly.
Hopefully it warms up like the weather report says - us fair-weathered Californians complain about the 'cold' weather when it goes below 68 :P.
