PhyllisH Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Stepping off the side lines and finally joining the forum:) Ive had my Millie about a year and half now... I've been observing from a distance and met some of you at MQX...I admire all of you and have learned so much on this forum; Thank you. I too would like to sing praise for Barb M as she has spent a lot of time with me. She literally went "the extra mile(s)"; set my machine up and resolved a mirage of small issues that we're equating to a "perfect storm." She set me up, walked me through basics and encouraged me to go for it!!!! Thanks sooooo much! I'm having a GREAT time:) PhyllisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Keepsakes Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi Phyllis and welcome to the forum! You've come to the right place for fun, inspiration and definitely support. Glad you've got Barb helping you along the way. ( I got to meet her myself last year at MQX, she's so lovely!) Look forward to seeing your quilting too.

PhyllisH Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Nice to meet you all. Sorry it's taken awhile to reply, Lisa, I injured my head & have been out of it for awhile. A little about myself: I am a retired teacher. I was taught to sew at a young age but never actually quilted until now. I currently quilt for myself and friends. I may generate a business but am not ready for the stress that could come with it. I started by piecing my own quilts figuring that if I could quilt my rooky quilts... I'd have great practice if I attempt customer quilts. This put me in piecing land for a few months which I enjoyed immensely. So far I've pieced and quilted 12 quilts and have about 8 more still in process in piecing land. I've been reading this form for about 2 years and have much respect and admiration for all of you. I greatly appreciate all I've learned. Thnx, PhyllisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirleyl Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Phyllis you will find that by quilting your own or even other peoples quilts will also make you a better piecer. It sure has me. Not that I get much time to work on my own stuff, but you learn something on every quilt! Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do post picts of some of your work, we'd really like to see not only what you are quilting, but what you are piecing too. We all posted our projects when first starting out. it's so much fun to see how we, and the others have progressed over time. Hope you stick around and chat.. offer answers to others as well as asking your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
