Welcome Judy G.!

WOW..this is so cool...Thanks for the warm welcome :-) I am encouraged to
brave the complexities of computer land just to be a part of such great
folks.
I firmly believe that quilters have a little lump of gold within their
hearts.

Welcome Judy,

Pleased you came out of lurkdom. Watch out for people offering quality
assurance on your finished quilts...you'll never get them back :-)

I see you are a veggie grower...me too. Do you eat your weeds?

different jobs. G

G Cloud, and Scardy are pretty much inside. Mandarin (big orange ex-tom)
is sometimes in, sometimes out. He comes in the cat door but won't go out
it. Muffy is a new momma who moved her kittens into our house at one point
(she had them in our backyard) but the people across the street have adopted

Quilting For: Not sure......... took a hand quilting class about 10 years
ago. But I have been sewing forever (since jr high home ec) and some quilting
and piecing sort of moved in at times.

Quilt assembly preference: Whatever works. I do mostly machine, but the Dear
Jane I am doing is mostly by hand. Have never done English pp, and don't plan
to because it just doesn't thrill me that much. Love my rotary cutters and
tools.

different styles.

(clothes and such), designing (clothes and quilts), puzzles, some TV. Talking
with friends. Embroidery.

Pet Peeves: too many to mention At the moment, people who fight change
because "we've always done it that way"

CSI are favorites.

Drive A: '97 Saturn. DH has a beat up 65/68 VW bug.
