Hi everyone. My name is Patti and I live in central Canada. I have two grownup daughters and a school teacher hubby.
I've been sewing all my life, but fairly new to quilting. Most of my projects have been small totes or handbags using foundation piecing, although I have done one full bed comforter, not block pieced, just solid colour lengths quilt stitched together.
After sewing kids clothes for 20 odd years, I have a ton of scraps that I want to put to good use. I'm looking forward to reading here for any tips I can find and getting the terminology right so I know what you all are talking about.

Most of my computer time is early morning as the girls still live at home and take over the computer after work in the evening.

Hello there Patti and welcome to BC
this is a great place , I have learned( and continue to learn) so much from this wonderful group of people
Questions are always answered and there are lots of projects, large and small to join in with We also have a marvellous Trivia Quiz on Friday at 6 pm in the chat room... you learn lots there too..... including how crazy some of these ladies are.. not myself of course

I love looking at the quilts these ladies have made. I have so many quilts on my to do list. So many quilts and so little time.....

Best regards

Nice to meet you and have a great day.
