It's nice to meet you, Ruby! I am new to quilting and to this group -- I've
been posting here a couple of months, I think. I have finished a
satin-and-taffeta quilt top, a Welsh mini-quilt which I both machine- and
hand-quilted, and a Tree Everlasting quilt-top which I am in the process of
machine-quilting. I also have a calico Churn Dash quilt top in process,
which I plan to both machine- and hand-quilt. I hope that makes sense!
I'm 52 and live on the Alabama Gulf Coast. There are a lot of wonderful
people here, some of whom I am already privileged to call friends. The
quilting resources here are unbelievable -- more expertise than you could
ever get in one book and more than I sometimes can handle! There are people
here who show in national shows and who have written books, as well as rank
beginners like me. Enjoy!

It's never to late to start!
Hi and welcome from a fellow Canadian - I'm from Montreal but my dad is
from Springhill so I am part bluenoser :) (and I lived in Halifax for a
couple of years).

Bonjour Allison. That is the extent of my french I am afraid. I have
visited Montreal a few times . Loved it. Montreal bagles are the best,
that bakery with the large brick open ended oven. the name of the
street escapes me at the moment.

St. Viateur bagels!!! The best of the Montreal bagels!!! Of course
Fairmont bagels are pretty darn good too. :)
For those who have never tasted Montreal bagels - they are made with a
special recipe and cooking process .....and are far better than anything
that goes by the name of bagel anywhere else. No contest. :)
