Hi everyone! I am so pleased to discover a UK based forum as I live Buckinghamshire! I have been on American ones for several years but am looking forward to being on in here as well.
I mainly quilt and have been making bags and simple hime furnishings. I love to paper piece (the more detailed and complicated the better) and have tried most types of hand sewing.
I would love to expand my repertoire even further so I’m looking forward to having a rummage around previous posts and getting stuck in.

Welcome @RJR_38 , you'll certainly find plenty to inspire you on here.

Hello there... welcome.

Hello and welcome!

Hi and welcome :drink: :vintage:

Welcome from me too. It's great to have a new Darkside member - you'll be made to feel right at home by all the other quilters on here. I love paper piecing too (I assume you mean FPP and not EPP) and I agree, the more complicated the better. :) Looking forward to seeing what you make.

Welcome from me but the darksiders will welcome you even more!!!

Hi,
Yes Kenora I do mainly FPP. Although I have made an EPP quilt and have a passacaglia EPP quilt on the back burner for when I feel the need to do some hand work.
I was going to post a picture of my latest FPP quilt but it seems I have to pay to be able to do that?

I had to look up passacaglia quilt. It's a millefiori. Looks terribly detailed and complicated.

@RJR_38 welcome, please show pics too :)

As a non-subscriber you can still post pictures by using an image hosting website and posting the link from there with the img tags.
There are instructions for using Flickr here (https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php/topic,3741.0.html) (third post down) and a comment about using lunapic, and there are instructions for using Imgur here. (https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php/topic,46.0.html)

Welcome to TSP. As @Acorn says, there are ways to share pictures without being a subscriber, but I think you need to have posted 25 times before you can include a link in your posts (admins - please correct this if it is wrong).

Welcome from me, another Darksider, but one who considers FPP the work of :devil: and who does machine piecing and hand quilting :)
-
Hi welcome from me too :D
-
Thanks for the warm welcome. Completely understand forums cost money to run and if I use it as much as my American quilting ones I will be happy to pay.
Have to wait and see :)

Welcome from me too, another one who lives in Buckinghamshire, only I am high up in the Chiltern Hills. What part are you living in?
Whilst I am more dressmaker than quilting, I have once or twice dabbled in a little quilting, but my need is dressmaking. However I have a long standing friend who also lives in Buckinghamshire and she does quilt - she is Twopence on here - I am sure she will be along soon to say hello.

Welcome @RJR_38. I am a newbie and enjoy this forum.

Hi,
I too am in the Chiltern Hills but on the edge of them I would say. Good to see some people who are close by on here. I’ve not been brave enough to try dress masking yet...

@RJR_38 I'm Twopence as Elnnina said and I quilt and sometimes dressmake too. Having lived on the hills near to Elnnina, I'm now down in the vale.

I’ve just seen where you are on the map and I am in one of the next towns over, P-R!

Hi, Buckingham is a lovely town, my daughter lives nearby.
