Hi everyone -- thanks for your welcomes. My screen name is pegsterct -- I started as pegsterTX on the AAQ site -- then moved to Connecticut so I'm now pegsterct (duh!) I've enjoyed chatting with my QYW buddies for several years and I look forward to making new friends and enjoying the "old" ones on this site. I'm a retired school para, married 40 years to the same crazy man, Mom to 4, Grammy to 4. I was lucky enought to move to Houston (from LI, NY) in 1996 and caught the quiltbug at the Houston Quilt Festival. I still have the first pattern I bought there -- and I never even started it (huge applique landscape) - but I have completed many others. And have lots of UFOs so I'm a true quilter I love piecing -- I'm a Bonnie Hunter fan currently working on her latest mystery quilt. Just got back from my guild meeting and realized we were "moving" to TQS. A new journey!

Hi All,
My screen name is ShirleyAnn. I've been married 47 years, 4 children, 10 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, no pets. I have been quilting for about 17 years now.....retired and hoping to spend more time in "therapy". I have a UFO list that I must get posted and seriously start to whittle down. It is sad to see QYW MB close but I'm sure this new adventure will be great!!!! Shirley Ann

Welcome to all you QYW/new TQS folks! I'll look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi. I am AnneD S WI from QYW MB. I was originally on AAQ MB. I will miss QYW but understand why they will be shutting it down. I hope everyone will come over here and join. Thanks for the Welcome! Anne

I want to say welcome to all the new members. This is a great forum and people are very helpful. Scoopie already told a lot of the topics, but I want to add that it's easier to find you way in this when you click on View New Topics. The computer keeps track on what you have seen.

It's fun to have new members join our community! You will find lots of different topics to check out on the forum, and you will want to read our Member Blogs to get to know some of the members of our community. This is a fun, safe place to play on the world wide web and we hope you will share lots of pictures with us on your profiles! WELCOME!

Hi all - my screen name on this site will show as cripskid but I am Ms Marge from the QYW forum. I joined the Quilt Show back in 2007 and signed up as cripskid. Not to worry, I am not gang related -lol- the cripskid name came from one of our heifers who's mom was named Crip due to an injured foot. We didn't know what to call that particular heifer and the name cripskid was a natural. Crip was a special cow also. We no longer have any cows but it was a great time of our lives although a whole lot of work when we both worked full time to "support" the cows!

I am very saddened to see QYW closing down as it has been a haven for many years. There is a great bunch of gals on there (and at least one guy) and I hope they jump over here and join in. I hope we will all be welcomed here and get to know all the quilters that frequent the site. It will take some getting used to the different format but will certainly give it a try.

I made my first quilt when I was 19 and then didn't make any for like 20 years and have been quilting ever since. I have a very long UFO list that I hope to whittle down this year. I have been married 33 years, 3 kids, 2 step kids, 8 grandchildren and 2 great granddaughters. I live in WA state in a very rural area known as the Methow Valley. I am retired and loving it.

Thanks to the quilters who have already welcomed us and be sure and check out the Quilts Your Way site to see what we have been up to.

Hi everyone,

Welcome everyone from Quilts Your Way! We can get to know all of you much better if you can post a photo and some of your quilts on your profile. (Hint, hint) Our Forum is mostly for quilt related questions, and keeping up with our current (and past) BOMs. But, we have a members blog where we talk about anything and everything! We share pictures of grandkids, quilts, pets, family, Christmas gatherings, quilt shows, etc. We talk about the weather, quilts we are working on, shows we have gone to, shows we hope to go to, our health, our kids, our pets, when we are up and when we are down. TQS is a wonderful supportive group, and we all learn so much from each other. Looking forward to PHOTOS!
