I'm soooooo bad, from AZ
This is my official intro..........if you look, I've posted over 250+ times and have not introduced myself.
I've always had a habit of putting the cart before the horse.....oops, oh, well. here I am. [ta da?]
I started quilting when they had polyester, but with scissors, got board with that and tying them. I came into quilting when they finally had the "pizza cutter" I thought they should have had in the 70's to cut fabric with. [can you imagine how rich I would be if I had invented that pizza cutter?]
Anyway I've been active in quilting since 1993.
In 2004 I bought a Gammill Classic Plus and have retired from quilting for others and will be selling my machine soon.
My preference is civil war and 30's fabrics, but I do appreciate batiks and some of the modern pieces.
I admit I've learned something every week since I've been a member.

Welcome tiggersmom from michigan. I also have been quilting since the 90's. I just purchased a civil war book which will be my next project. It is "The Civil War Sampler" by Barbara Brackmans, 50 quilt blocks with stories from history. I am really excited to start. I have had fun reading the history behind them

Hi to you from England. I must admit that the same thing happened to me. I jumped in with reading and posting on the Board without realising that I should have introduced myself first. Always thought it was too late after a few hundred postings so never bothered. Anyway, not sure if you have retired in general or just from quilting for other people but have a great time in whatever you continue to do.
