Welcome to the board everyone who is new to us. It is a wonderful place to share and learn and make friends. It is addicting and there is not a 12-step program for withdrawing so be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry careful. LOL

How to make my own pattern! (with all the math!)
And lots of other things.
I thought I knew how to quilt.
Now I am learning how to quilt!
But there is a problem... Now I want my own sewing room, a cat and a long arm.

I have found that I have saved money by being here, also.
I love it when the others post sites that are having sales, or hints on homemade items. Making my own starch has saved a bunch of money! Buying my blades at Harbor Frieght has worked out well. Getting patterns for blocks free! I could go on, but have to get back to sewing!!

I thought I knew how to quilt before I found the board. What a beginner I am!LOL I'm trying to figure our where to put a long arm too. DH already took the garage for his boat. We rent so adding on isn't an option, and our lease has 2 more years on it. Got to figure out how to rearrange the living room. I love all you enablers!!!
