Any of the Quilting/Sewing Peas Here?

Hi All, I have been around the 2 Peas boards for many years, but I didn't visit a lot during the last year or two. I would love to join the Quilting/Sewing Peas Group, if possible. I am a real "Newbie" to quilting/sewing, but I'm very eager to learn. My 11 yr. old daughter and I just made our very first lap quilt tops this summer, and we can't wait to finish them. (Though the rest of the process makes me a little nervous, honestly! I just don't want to mess up what we've done.) Silly, right? Anyway, I love seeing your blocks, GypsyGirl, and I look forward to seeing other Peas' creations, too!

I'm here! I haven't been doing too much lately though. I am s l o w l y learning to paper piece so I can make a pretty complicated Harry Potter quilt for DGD#1. I started the first block, then put it aside for quite a while and forgot how to do it

Actually, the pieces in the blocks are so small I have the Add-an-Eighth ruler. I'm not sure what possessed me to do this for my first paper pieced project!

I just finished a quilt. I'm putting a tutorial for it on my blog soon. Here's a pic of it all folded up.

I'm a quilter - well at least a piecer lol, I don't do well with the actual quilting. It seems like forever since I've worked on anything, I've spent too much time working out in the yard lately, but with the temps heating up...my thoughts have turned more to sewing. I've got a couple of projects I need to start on soon tho. I just ordered (and got) a quilting magazine from England that featured a quilt by Camille Roskelly - love her stuff. I want to use some of her April Showers line for that quilt, which I have - but I need to buy some solid white yardage first. I've also started looking for ideas for a "monster" quilt for a new nephew due in October. I think those will keep me quite busy this summer!

I am. We tried it at 2 peas but this board is a lot more user-friendly.

I am trying to finish up an applique flower border on a twin single nine patch for my niece. And just started a king sized Tennessee Waltz and am still working on my hand sewn elongated hexagon English paper piecing quilt. Need to not start more until at least one of these is finished!

I've replied on a few quilting threads and check out just about all of them. Love seeing the completed projects. So pretty! <3

I didn't post much on the thread at 2P, but I am a sewer (sewist, whatever the heck the term is these days). I like the idea of a monthly thread.

I'm a quilter. Unfortunately, work and life have been far too busy over the last year to do much and I'm in the middle of renovation projects, but I'm optimistic I'll at least be able to finish some ongoing projects soon.

I am also a quilter. I use this hobby as a form of therapy. I have been making quite a few quilts for my daughter's friends. I enjoy finding fabric and patterns that reminds me of them. I do send out my quilts to a long armer to be quilted. I really like the blocks you have made!

I am.  Let me see if I can figure out the photo thing...  Nope.

Here! :-). I don't quilt anymore, although info wish I had time still. The costume biz owns me. *sigh*

Ooohhh! I forgot about Hawthorne! Great site and I totally agree that is is fabric porn!

I don't have a really good quilting shop in my town either. We have one that seems to only have calicos and "dated" looking fabrics that seem to only appeal to an older quilter. They don't have any of the more modern fabrics at all. Plus, they never offer any new classes. They've been doing the same rotating 6-8 classes for years. I really don't know how they are staying in business.
There is another shop but they are more of the apparel fabrics that can sometimes crossover to quilting. Know what I mean?

I hate shopping online sometime because I love to shop and match up stuff that isn't necessarily part of a grouping but.... My 3-4 quilting / sewing friends keep dreaming about our fabric store. Sigh....if only.
