It's nice to have all you new folks join us! I hope you feel comfortable enough to add photos to your profiles so we can put faces to the new names!

Hi there!

I, too, was on QYW, and did not realize that it was closing, although it was clearly headed that way.

I've been on this board, too, since its inception, and you will love it!

ON QYW, I was Beth, MI.

Here, I am BethMI

Welcome!

BethMI

Woohoo--I found you all--and I've even seen a few names from the past! (Littleflower!--Remember us?)

Thanks for all the nice notes and welcome messages. I know change is good (change is good...change is good...) but some of us were on that QYW message board for over 10 years. I've met so many online and real life friends while cahtting about our quilts, projects, home lives, everyday minutiae. Part of my daily routine. And D&D have been very good about putting up with us.

So--hi everybody! Happy to be here.
To tell you a little about myself--I'm Toni from Milwaukee (Go Packers! Oh I don't know why I said that--I'm really a baseball fan. Go Brewers!) and have been quilting for about 12 years, starting after I sold my coffee house. My DH and I now own a small computer business for wich we work a LOT. I've just recently began making studio (or art) quilts and have joined the Milwaukee Art Quilters Group. I still make many traditional quilts, especially since I now have a darling little grandson named Lukas for whom to make piles of stuff!

I'm looking forward to seeing my old buds and making new friends here at TQS.

Thank you for all the warm welcomes. It will take me awhile to learn to navigate the board, but what I see looks really great.

I just read this thread and I am so excited to welcome all the new friends to the TQS forum. You will like it here..and it will be fun to get to know each of you.

I am so excited I finally made all the right moves to get here.
I very seldom post but check this out every morning and maybe some other times during the day.

Welcome everyone from QYW. What a lovely lot of new friends to get to know. TQS is a very friendly bunch of people and we hope you will enjoy being here with us.

Hi, I too, am from QYW. My name is Sheri (catec7 is my screen name). I have been seriously quilting for about 8 years. I live in the country and have my own quilting studio with my longarm. I currently work fulltime teaching 7th grade prealgebra. I hope we are able to keep touch with old and new friends.

Welcome everyone from QYW. TQS is a wonderful place and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hey all I found it! I've been a member here for a few years, but pretty inactive. I have a few quilts in my gallery. I'm really sad to lose the QYW forum, but am so glad we're able to be here.

I am Stacey from Wisconsin. I have been quilting 8 years and have three little ones that keep me very busy. I will miss AQS, but am excited to meet new people here, and continue to talk to old friends from the AQS here.

Hello everybody!

I am Susan from Jacksonville Beach, FL. I'm also coming over from QYW and look forward to meeting lots of new friends in this forum.

Hi everyone!
I too was on the Quilts Your Way forum. I was debidobs on that board.

I can tell you the folks on the QYW forum are AWESOME... I have done many swaps with them before I entered nursing school. Now that's done and I'm ready to get all those wonderful blocks quilted! I'm looking forward to "meeting' lots of new quilters and getting to know again the ladies from QYW.


happy quilting!
