Hello quilters! I am so excited to welcome you to GourmetQuilter! This space is for you. Here we can chat about quilting and associated topics, like making quilts, bag etc, maybe you have a question about making, or something to share. I wanted to create a space for quilters to come together to talk about what we are making, free from other distractions. If you're new here, I'm SusanClaire, often known as GourmetQuilter. I am a fabric designer, quilt pattern designer/writer, shop owner, teacher, speaker and YouTuber. I live in New Zealand and have a delightful barn studio that is a work in progress! I have been online for more than 20 years, bringing the world closer as New Zealand is a little out of the way, but delightful. A few things before you get started! This community is brand new and there are exciting things in the pipe-line. Have a friend who is hungry to hang out with us? Invite them to join too. 💖 BE KIND, DON'T PROMOTE YOURSELF, RESPECT OTHER MEMBERS💖 Think about who you'd like to hang out with, maybe have a coffee or lunch with - or make a quilt with! Be pleasant and kind, respectful and encouraging. Please don't advertise here, it is fine to mention a pattern or project by another designer, or shiop, but this is not a space to advertise. This is a clean space to chat about what we are making. I have been clearing my workspace in the barn studio and am relishing the un-cluttered space in which I can create happily without distraction - that is what we are looking for here. If you would like to email me directly, this is my email: susanclaire@gourmetquilter.com My website is: www.gourmetquilter.com I can be found on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@GourmetQuilter Instagram: @gourmetquilter

Welcome to GourmetQuilter Studio Corner - a community for quilters, creators and more. Please take a moment to introduce yourself below. What we would love to know: where in the world are you? what sort of quilts or other delicious items do you like to make? what are you working on right now? what does your workspace look like - maybe add a picture? Please also use this space to welcome other quilters in. Thanks, looking forward to meeting you all.

Yay - a new publication is just starting, and it's right here! Vol. - 1 Issue 1 is available now.
