kkwalrus Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hello, I'm new to the forum, and am already getting a good vibe from being around you Thread Heads ...LOL Truth be told I haven't been quilting for a bit because of the inevitable way life unfolds, but I would very much like to get involved again. I could use a quilting kick up the back side to get me going. Maybe there are others who share my feelings, and we might be able to inspire one another. It would be nice to connect with one, or a few like minded individuals to share in all things quilterly. I am hoping that here I might crosspaths with a few quilters from the Toronto, Ontario area here. Long shot I figure, but you never know. If you are, and interested in boring one another with quilting chit chat it would be really nice to hear from you. Maybe it's just me, but I find that once the workshops are over, and everyone has scattered to the wind there is no one to share in the quilting enthusiasm which often translates into not being that inspired. Although I must confess to taking a certain amount of pleasure out of inflicting talk of quilting on the husband, the kids, the cat just to see that glazed over look that they eventually succumb to, but I fear that one day they will catch on to my little pleasure, and pay me back in kind ...LOL I look forward to what lies a head ... walrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi Walrus.... Nice to meet you! Are you right in Toronto? I live approx 40 miles south of Hamilton, about 15 minutes from Caledonia. We are having our quilt show next week, so if you are in the area drop by and introduce yourself!!! Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CucumberQuilting Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Welcome! You'll have lots of fun here and get some inspiration too. Sometimes it'll keep you from actually getting your work done! We have a quilter in our local area who is from Canada. She's a real good gal to get on a chat, send email and photos. I'll find her email to share with you. Her name is Sharon Tucker and her studio is Grass Roots Quilting. http://www.grassrootsquiltstudio.com/ http://community.webshots.com/user/grassrootsquilting found it: tucker_sharon@telus.net PS: Sharon is teaching a new class at Innovations this year too. It's about the value of preparing samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkwalrus Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 SandraC: Thank you for the welcome! Yes, I'm in the core of Toronto. I won't be able to attend the quilt show due to a prior engagement, but wish you, and the other people involved a really good show accompanied by the best of weather. CucumberQuilting: Appreciate the welcome, and information about Sharon. Can't think of a better excuse for not getting my work done! It will only pile up again once it gets done anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Walrus! Welcome to the chat! I don't have a longarm yet, but I am here at least twice a day. I am so greedy for info I access it directly fromthe APQS home page and read everything that's been posted since the last time I checked it. I keep saying I am going to be an expert by the time I do get my machine, but the truth is.....all the info will go straight out of my head the second I realize the time has come!

sewingupastorm Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Walrus and welcome to the fourm! My longarm is sitting idle while I am off piecing blocks for the birthday swap. Seems like I can only focus on one thing at a time lately. I was hoping to load a quilt today............the last customer quilt on the premisis with a Dec deadline. Then I get an e-mail two more quilts comming, then a phone call another two, guess I better get in gear and get going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
