Hi everyone. 8 inches of snow already here on Long Island, and it's still coming down. Hubby and friend left for week of skiing in Utah, but now sitting at Kennedy airport, flight cancelled and going nowhere. He wouldn't listen. told him this could happen, but what do I know?????

Hi everyone, just finsihed a great tote bag that is huge (about 29 x 42 not counting the handles). It was designed by one of the members, Barb Duffy.

Hi everyone, Just happy to say the sun is bright, the sky is blue and it's getting warmer here on Long Island. No sign of snow today!!!! Taking a little computer time this morning while my little grandsons are happily playing with trucks. After seeing all the great photos you've all posted, can't wait to get to some quilting with some bright, cheery fabric. The bunnies and jelly beans aren't too far away! Have a happy day wherever you all are. - Jane

Hi everyone. I'm not really new to quilting, just timid. Love the idea of quilting and have a big to do list, but can't find enough quilting time in the day. But when I do, boy it's like floating away on a vacation!!! Look forward to hearing from fellow quilters and sharing it all.
