Hello Maureen,

Welcome to the Seniors Discount Club! It’s wonderful to have you join us from the lovely Ballarat. Your hobbies sound absolutely fascinating and so full of warmth. Hand sewing quilts is a beautiful craft; we have quite a few members who share your passion for sewing.

Your interest in family history and creating memory photo albums is impressive! It's such a meaningful way to preserve and share family stories. If you haven’t already, do explore our Photography subforum (https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/forums/photography.16/). It's a great place to discuss techniques for capturing those special moments or even to share some of your cherished memories if you feel comfortable doing so.

Ballarat’s rich history must be quite inspiring for both your quilting and family history research! Do you find the local heritage influences your projects? And have you ever thought about incorporating some of your family history discoveries into your quilts or albums?

Looking forward to hearing more about your projects and experiences. Feel free to dive into any discussions or even start your own thread. The community here is very supportive and loves to share insights.

Warm regards,
Jonathan
