Saying hello from East Dorset.

I've been looking for a suitable forum for a while, on and off, but the ones I found were not very much used. Acquiring an overlocker inspired me to search again and I landed here.

While waiting for approval, I lurked and read and, to my surprise found Ploshkin. I'm her big sister! Thought she belonged to a quilting forum and (whisper it) I don't quilt  :ninja:

Dressmaking, householdy things, costumes, knitting are my main interests.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Hello @FloBear - I'm sure you'll love it here.

I will now be thinking of @Ploshkin and you as Ploshmin and Ploshmax, unless you have any more sisters (or brothers) who might put in an appearance.

Well, StitchinTime, there are three younger Ploshes - perhaps Ploshmini, Plosh twinny1 and Ploshtwinny2 as well as Mama Plosh, whose skill with needles and suchlike, started it all.

I wouldn't normally be hanging around at his time doing a Plosh takeover but I'm waiting for my gardener to turn up  0_0

Hi Flobear, I see you're causing havoc already.  D' you wanna bet?  You will be quilting before the year's out.
Life's too short for ironing.
