Hi,
I live in MO. I have been quilting for a long time. Made my first quilt in 1957, started my second in 1958; finished that one in 2006.
Like everyone else I have tons of " work in progress", but always find new ones to start.
I have 3 children, 5 grandchildren, 1 GREAT-grandchild and one golden retriever. Oh, yes and one husband.
I love to hear about quilting projects, new quilting methods and to share when I can.

Welcome to the board from Ireland. My first quilt was a good few years in the making, but purely because it got put away and forgotten. I hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome! Do you still have your first quilt from 1957?

Yes I do. It is a Grandmother's Fan. Little did I know anything about curved seams. It certainly isn't perfect, but my Grandmother quilted it for me and it is very special.
