Welcome Gina! pull up a chair to our virtual quilting frame! if you are lucky someone will pass some chocolate your way - the plate I had seems to have disappeared LOL

Hi Gina - from way Downunder!

The colours in your dazzling diamonds are gorgeous. And the machine work in those swirls - wow!! Did you do a class or are you just naturally brilliant? I have long admired the ribbon work that LL does but I have never been brave enough to try it. Well done you!!!!!!

Wow!! you have been busy!!! Welcome to the group I'm sure you will enjoy the posts.

Hi Gina! Welcome from Michigan! I'm sure you'll find us all pretty chatty from time to time... but always beware of those stash raiders.... they are always on the lookout for an unguarded stash! Tell us a bit about your family... any QI's?

We're glad you have found (and joined) us!

Welcome from "that guy who quilts". Let's see now if I remember Caerphilly; A wonderful medieval castle and some great cheese. That about does it for my much addled memory of a UK visit in 1975. Your quilts are a wonderful use of striking color and you will be a great addition to this far ranging group.

hi Cheryl

I have done some workshops if I like the look of a quilt or new technique and my first quilt was done at a 12 week workshop. the rest I'm afraid is self taught through books and magazines. I'll have a go at anything and I'm not bothered if it isn't perfect at the finish. the ribbon swirls was my first attempt and I think it was beginners luck as I can't seem to get the effect now.

love and hugs gina xxx

Hullo Gina, and welcome. Nice to have someone from *South Wales. I am not that far from you, South Shropshire. I mean, it is quite far, in time, because of the roads! but not so far as the crow flies. Hope you like cheese >g< Orchids, too! Have you made your orchid quilt yet? That would be stunning. I've saved you website for looking at later - I'm in a bit of a rush at the minute. Hope to see/hear from you again soon. . In message , orchidlover writes

Welcome. You have made some lovely quilts.

Welcome to the group, I'm just "over the bridge" in Bath, and I have family living in Caerphilly.

Love the quilts,

Welcome Gina from sunny Cornwall UK. You have been "doing it" about the same time as me!I have umpteen projects on the go at any given time and occasionally I actually finish one I am addicted.

Howdy!

Welcome, Gina!

What lovely quilts & beautiful orchids. Thanks for the pics of Stanley and friends, too. ;-)

Welcome Gina - I am at the other side of the UK to you - East Anglia. What lovely colourful quilts, and orchids too. I have just killed my orchid (it finished flowering, and then everything went wrong) - fortunately it is not possible to kill quilts!! Not unless you try really hard.

The 'Threads and Swirls' looks interesting - reminds me of a drawing toy my children had, but can't remember its name.

Welcome to our cyberframe, Gina! It's a great group. Pull up a chair and some chocolates (oh,.... and fabric!) ME-Judy

Gina, Your quilts are lovely. I'm particularly fond of the "Dazzling Diamonds" - beautiful use of color. Your orchids are very pretty too!
