Hello from the Isle of Wight
«

I have been sewing all my life. My grandmother taught me to use her hand crank Singer when I was about four and I am still using it today, together with my trusty Janome machine. I don't do much garment sewing these days though I do make my own trousers. Most of my needlework seems to be items for the home or gifts for family. Over the last eighteen months I have been teaching myself machine quilting and have made several cot and crib quilts, so I hope to widen my knowledge from the more experienced quilters here. I look forward to 'meeting' you all.

Welcome
@Goldenthreads
. A dressmaker, toymaker, home-furnishings-er all my life I only came here to get help with using an overlocker and, 14 months on, I've fallen into the abyss that is the Dark Side.
Happy falling

A warm welcome from me too. I have very happy memories of childhood holidays on The Island - you're very lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Welcome. I've never been to IOW, in spite of spending my teens living near the Dorset coast & able to see it from the beaches. I'm told it's lovely & it's on my 'must visit' list.
