Hi there everyone.

I live in the UK (a Yorkshire lass !) and I am completely new to quilting. I have just bought loads of material and looking forward to reading your posts to get some inspiration, ideas and help.

After a quick look at a few posts, I have a lot of reading to do, so I am off to get a gin and tonic and some chocolate before I have a proper look. Bye for now - back soon.

Hi patchworknovis

I am from the UK as well but currently on holiday at our French house. You will find a great bunch of ladies on this site full of information, tips, laughte etc etc.
Are you a complete beginner?

welcome to BC, patchworknovis! hope you enjoy your reading - several of the threads are, shall we say, quite entertaining?!!!!! anyway, make yourself at home, we're really one great big quilting family here!

Patchworknovis, welcome! You are off to a good start with lots of fabric! Grab a wonderful beginner book and get started! Right after that gin & tonic and chocolate of course!

Welcome Patchworknovis

I'm new to quilting too, and everyone on this site has been great when I've had questions. I'd also suggest taking some classes if the opportunity arises. I'm taking a class and I've got a fabulous teacher and have met wonderful new friends.

DH would love you since gin & tonic is his favorite. Me, I'll have a nice glass of red wine with that chocolate. Did someone tell me there's a diet with red wine and chocolate? I need to learn about that - I think I could be successful at that!

Welcome from sweet home Alabama this forum you have come to a good place lots of good people here to share the love of quilting and other interests.

Welcome Patchworknovis from the Mitten State in the U.S. I am relatively new as well it will be a year in late September that I became addicted. Its the best addiction ever.

Gin and tonic sounds good but one of my DH home brews would work as well

Another warm welcome from another warm Mitten State gal. You should fit in nicely here, I always have a gin and tonic before I quilt....hmmmm, think that has anything to do with my seams not being straight???? Jody, want to trade some home brew for some homemade dandelion wine? We are very glad to meet you, any questions or problems? You can always find someone here to help you sort them out, and they don't even have to be about quilting! A great bunch of ladies and (some) gents!

Hi PWN and welcome from South Africa. This is a fun site with a great group of fun loving quilters who are always ready to help. Nice to have you with us
