I have several quilt moms want to adopt me, Makes me feel kinda special! Quilt Mom was the first to offer and we have been in contact. I am glad quazyquilter thought of this idea!!This will be so much fun, Not only to make another special friend but to learn new things along the way.

if readers see results, the topic will hold more interest and generate more participation.

I love the word "stickyfy"

I too would like to be "adopted". I know only how to do "basic" (1/4" seams) blocks. I would love to learn art quilting as well as paper piecing and how to stitch in the ditch. I can't seem to stay in the ditch no matter how slow I go.

i am just learning. i would love to be adopted. right now i am fascinated with rag quilts. i have done small things like table runners, etc. i belong to a quilt guild and love it. it is so much fun to see what everyone has done and realize that maybe i could do that too!

I'll try and match up the interests of everyone in a little while. I didn't write that down the first time through.

If you haven't added your areas of interest please do. It helps.

If I missed you please let me know. It got kind of confusing as I was going through.

You are doing such a great job, organizing this!!! Thank you for making my idea a reality and I am so glad that we are all on the same team!!! :D :lol: :thumbup:

DITTO!! Great job!!

Your cute.

Latest update we have a new mom and a new newbie.

Please let me introduce Brushand thimble who is interested in adopting. She likes scrap and log cabin patterns and enjoys redwork and needle turn applique.

And tlp is looking to be adopted and is currently fascinated with rag quilts.

I'm loving doing this and hope that we can keep it going.

I would love the idea of adding a thread in Pictures with all the fun stuff we are learning to do. Let me know if anyone is interested.
