DollieBee Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hello all, I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself out here. I've been lurking since I got my millie in August, and found that this section of the forums seemed to be home for me. I truly love and appreciate all of your wonderful, positive comments and always look forward to seeing what has been posted. I'm in western central Iowa, about 50 miles from the APQS factory, and we're farmers. So spring and fall I'm usually out there in the fields, helping get the crop in or out. But any other time I'm in my studio enjoying 'my time'! You all seemed like such a welcoming group that I thought it was about time that I introduce myself. Happy Spring, and sew the seeds of happiness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollieBee Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks Meg! I started out with a KenQuilt machine and had it for about 5 years, while I worked in corporate america. I got my Millie when I decided to stay home and help my husband. I would still say I'm pretty green at all this. I do take in some customer quilts. Pretty much all edge to edge/panto stuff. I'm still getting to know and love my Millie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless, stay well and safe, have fun quilting, RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisalnewman Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi Dollie Did you see that there is a group dinner for any interested APQS forum members on Tuesday night at MQS. It would be a great way to meet people face to face. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting anyone in person yet and I am really looking forward to meeting everyone at MQS. You should definitely try to make it. Lisa:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
