Hey All,

My name is Laurie. I’ve been getting Threads magazine for several years, but am just now getting around to joining the forum! I am really impressed that so many people can find time to chat AND sew!

I am an artist in the Pocono Mountains, PA. I have a business making jewelry and custom clothing. You can check out some of my stuff at http://sinnersandsaints.biz .

If any of you live near the Poconos, I have been trying to organize a “Stich-n-Bitch” where local people who love to sew can get together, share ideas, help each other and chew the fat. I have been sewing since I was a little girl and I would love to share my knowledge with others. I’m really glad to join this forum to make new friends who share my passion. Finally, people who understand my gigantic, out of control fabric stash!! And best of all, no matter how long anyone has been sewing, there is always room to learn more, and I look forward to exchanging tips and ideas.

Thanks for having me!

~Laurie
