Hi!
I am a long time lurker who has never been game enough to join before.
But I get so much info and so many good tips when I search here, I decided it was time I bit the bullet and joined.
I have been quilting for a few years now, but I am NOT good at it, and the Quilt Police would arrest me, lock me up and throw away the key, if they were to see my methods of doing things.
But I enjoy making things for family and friends, and I am sure they don't care if my seams don't quite meet, or if I cut off a point here and there.
It will take me a while to understand how things work here, so if I stuff up anywhere, please forgive me.
