Welcome, @FloBear  !  How lovely that you're another Ploshie!  Hope you enjoy being with us (and don't worry, some of us are extremely unlikely to be dragged into TDS  :S ) x

Welcome FloBear - there is absolutely no need to even think about quilting, lots of us don't  0_0

Ploshkin, be careful, Big Sis is watching you...  :o

Gosh, I feel I've had a lovely welcome, thank you all.

Mind you, sneaking in on Ploshkin's coat-tails is a bit underhand, isn't it? I see she is a right old chatterbox regular contributor  ;)

Oh @Lowena I’m afraid not.   :). My work colleagues have tried for years to get me into quilting especially when grandchildren started arriving. Three grandsons later I still haven’t made a quilt! 
I’m a fanatical dressmaker and there’s just no room for quilting.  None of my family would thank me for one.  And I can’t abide all the wall hangings (dust gatherers) that people also make.  But I can appreciate the work involved.

Welcome FloBear.  So now we have two sisters and a mother and daughter.  Are there any more families on here?

@Ohsewsimple I completely understand. I'm not clever enough to make clothes and love P&Q but..... no one I know wants my quilts and I hate wall hangings so I know how you feel. They just pile up until I get round to dumping giving them to the charity bin in Sainsbos  0_0

@Lowena that’s a shame.  I guess there’s only so many quilts you personally need.  Unlike clothes which wear out over time.  Hey, you’ll have to take up dressmaking  0_0

Hello and welcome from me too - another non-quilter!

Actually, I did some back in the 70s and might do again in my 70s but in the meantime the dark brigade are so wonderfully easy to wind up with just a bit of quilt-free independence.  0_0 :devil:
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

LOL @Marniesews   !  @Lowena , you'll be lucky.  I have tried P&Q a few times, even got as far as making an Advent calendar and a wall hanging (both hand sewn) but I just got fed up with it.  Even though my machine is labelled a 'quilting edition' and came with some fancy schmancy hardware (untouched) I've not been tempted.  Sorry  :S

Now, whipping up a quick top or a skirt, that's another matter.  I love clothes and love making them  <3
