Title: Bookish unlurks
Post by: Bookish on September 02, 2018, 23:41:43 PM

Greetings from a lurker... My what a wonderful group of people.  Who could resist a site that provides a fish slap  :loveit:   I see many friends from other sites and am glad to see them here.

I live in Virginia, where once it was farm land, but now is home to creeping suburbs.  Hot and humid in the summers, raw and bone chilling damp in the winter.  So we travel.  Offspring in Chicago and Southern California (it is very important to plant offspring where the food is good) means some serious wanderings.

I got fed up with RTW and started sewing most of my clothes years ago... I'm getting better at it.

Hi @Bookish.  Good to see you've unlurked.  Don't be shy, now.  I'm only just starting to make clothes so would love to see pics of your makes.

Hi and welcome from me too. I lurked on the previous site but joined TSP as soon as I could - I've never regretted it - it's such a friendly forum. Look forward to seeing what you're making.  :D :frock:

welcome Bookish, can't beat a good fish slap - Ducks behind the sofa is another matter all together.

Welcome from me too, Bookish.

All the essentials here, especially the  :drink: but I'm doing my best to avoid the  :cake: (and the :gin: if it comes to that). You're welcome to my share of those.  :D
