Introduction
Hi,
as I've been lurking since the beginning of the year, I think it is time to introduce (or reintroduce) myself. My name is Uschi, I am 44, single, work as a secretary and live in Vienna, Austria (Europe). I used to be here years ago, I think I droped out sometime in 2000. Life got in the way of things and since the beginning of 2003 I've been working on changing things (mostly my outlook, reactions, feelings...) and I started quilting again around christmas time. I've been busy since then trying to finish wips and also coping with my creative energy. I read about stashbusters here and joined there too. That got me going even more and I finished two tops from scraps without making too much of a dent in my supply..... Besides quilting I love to cook (and eat) but still managed to drop 21 kg (42 pounds?) last year - yeah!! I loooove chocolate but only indulge on my birthday, christmas, easter.... I am so happy about regaining my weight that it is not really hard to abstain. I am a fair weather runner, and am waiting right now for the weather to get fine enough (for me) to get out my running shoes again. No QIs as I am 'blessed' with an abundance of allergies, but I love to read about yours and see pictures of them. You can check out some of my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/quilterin101 While I love to make blocks for hugs, mailing costs to the US are rather steep and the few I've sent this year did not seem to have arrived in the US. Seems that 'squishy' envelopes to not get through though I mark them 'quilt block'. Or there is someone out there collecting blocks :-). Enough about me, I'd better get off to the kitchen. I've invited my mum for lunch. We returned from a trip to turkey on tuesday and want to show off our photos and reminicent. Uschi |

Hi Uschi welcome back to the group.
If you want to join a hug just mark the envelope as "fabric scraps" - it is truthful... if you ignore the seams the bits left over *are* scraps. Quilt blocks and quilts seem to disappear in the mail as there are some people who collect them :-( Your quilts are wonderful!! and you are doing the RCTQ BOM too!!

Your quilts are delightful!! I love the fabric choices for the RCTQ BOM.
Glad to see you here. I ship a lot to Europe and so far haven't had any problem. I am so sorry you have had so many problems shipping to the US. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Uschi" wrote in message ...

Welcome from Munich, Uschi! Your quilts are wonderful. I especially like
Martin's Quilt -a design that's been languishing in my idea pile for way too long. What size 9-patches did you use? Roberta in D "Uschi" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Welcome Uschi
You have some beautiful quilts there. I will have to go back another day and have a bit more of a drool. I have spent several happy holidays in Austria - it is by far my favourite European country for visiting. Loving Mozart helps, I suppose! What a pity about the mail to the US from you. Very discouraging, but lovely that you tried your best. Hope we'll see you around from now on. It's been good to meet you. ..

Welcome (back) Uschi! I pop up for the occasional comment, offer of prayers
and read avidly all the suggestions and tips though for the past few weeks my sewing has drifted toward bag-making. Thinking ahead to the holdays so I don't end up in October trying to get everything done! Have a seat at the cyber-frame and we'll talk! -- Debi Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Thank you for your wellcome, Jessamy. I'll try that when I send the next
block. And not eating chocolate is quite easy when I look at old photos of myself ;-) Uschi Jessamy schrieb: Hi Uschi welcome back to the group.
