Will you have me?
Hi all!
I was just browsing the board a little and I was wondering if you all would have me. I have always considered myself to be crafty. I cross-stitch, (used to) knit, and crochet...but I have recently decided to take on a new project. I want to quilt.
I know how to use a sewing machine. I have grown up using my grandmother's. I have made things like little bags, dresses, including a prom dress, and other small projects.
I have purchased a sewing machine of my own, after lots of research and checking out machines. I am super excited because it will arrive today! I even started a blog about it. Stitches, Chains and Purls (in my sig.)
I was just looking for a place to discuss while I learn. Hopefully get some tips as I go.

Re: Will you have me?
No you can't come play. We're super exclusive around here.
Welcome to the board! If you've been lurking at all, you'll see it's a pretty supportive place and people are great about answering questions. Also check out the FAQ link at the top of the board if you haven't already. The only "rule" we have around here is to AW and PIP your projects often!
the blog
Partner to J | 02.15.05
Mommy to C | 02.18.09
Yes, I checked out the FAQs and lurked. I will be bookmarking the FAQs for easy access for later! I love that it is supportive around here, and I love all the AW. I think I can handle posting some AW PIPs.
I'm Megan by the way. I thought an into might be a little more appropriate than to just jump in acting like I'm part of the group already.
Yay! I can't wait to get started. I will continue to lurk and may comment a little today, but you can expect my first AW post about my new sewing corner tonight or tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the warm welcome!

This! Though, I'm pretty much the worst at PIP's, but they let me stick around anyway
Welcome to the board! Can't wait to see your projects!
Why not? That's how I rolled!
AND, I am the worst PIPer; I do tons of stuff but I'm too lazy to post.
Welcome!

I think this is the cutest intro yet! Personally, I like crazycakes, or any cakes for that matter!
Welcome!
Nah, they would never do that!
Um, Would you, ladies? Huh? Would you? Did you?

As I reread that, it sounds so silly. Yes, the prom dress was a huge project.
Other small projects like the little bags.

::curses those TTGP crazies:: Since I am starting to obsess over something new, I am wanting to share all about it. I can only tell my H so much before he just gets bored with it... poor guy. I really like it over here. It's fun to talk about crafty stuff and have people actually care!
I hope you will become more more active over here!
