Welcome!  You do beautiful work.

The gingerbread men and trees sound like a fun project for the kids!

Judy, you certainly are busy!  We'll look forward to hearing about your sessions on the long arm and to seeing photos as soon as they can be posted.

I've never made pillowcases but I need to add that to my list of things to try.  A friend made me one and I love the way it feels.  The fabric is so nice to sleep on.

I'll look forward to seeing a photo after the retreat.

I missed reading about everyone's projects too!  I hope we can keep this thread going with lots of posts and photos.

I'm looking forward to more photos of your wonderful quilts.

Welcome to the forum and this thread!  I hope we see you here often.

The quilt for your mother and the place mats are lovely!

Thank you

I'm so glad you are joining this fun group!  I have learned so much in the years I have been on here.  I am very impressed by your lovely work.  Are you sure you are a beginner?  Your quilting is wonderful.

now that my tool carrier is done, I'm back working on DD's red and white quilt.  I decided on the corner stones and 4 are done, need to applique 8 more but they go pretty quickly.  All the sashing is done and I have a piece of fabric left 4" by width of fabric.  And that is all.  geesh, talk about cutting it close!  Looks like I will be using red binding and fortunately I do have about a yard of one piece left so I should be ok on that.
