Hello from Columbus, Ohio

Hi, I'm Bobye and I'm on my journey to WLS and I love to quilt. It is my passion. I hope to be supportive to all my WLS fellows on this site.

Hi Bobye... are you a traditional quilter or more into the art quilting? I enjoy it although I do not think I am even at te novice level. Michele

Michele, I would say I'm a traditional quilter. I do like the the bright colors, but I love the victorian stuff. I'm just completeing a "Stack and Whack" Fan quilt by Bethany Reynolds. I'm not a very good quilter, have most of my tops sent out to be quilted. I like the buying of fabric and the piecing. Where are you from, Michele? Have you had your WLS yet? I've just begun my journey and am struggling with the fact that I have to give up most of the foods that have comforted me for so long. That is why I'm at 280# and my health isn't the greatest. I just need help getting the bulk of it off. I'm counting on my passion for quilting to get me through the greiving time of giving up the food and let the quiltiing become my solice for comfort. For now happy quilting to you, Bobye

Hi, I too am a quilter and I found that having handwork to do in the evenings helped alot after surgery. I am 9+ years out now-and I still find that I rely on handwork, or a good book to get me through the evening. Otherwise I want to run back and forth to the kitchen. Cheryl
