HI, I'm Renee from Wisconsin, My MIL recently (about 6 months ago) taught me how to quilt one weekend when we were up north, just a table runner but it got me hooked. So far I have done 3 bed size quilts and a few table runners. My fabric stash is getting there, my DH even grabs coupons from work for me to use to go shopping for fabric, gotta love that!!

Just hoping to learn from everyone here as I still have A LOT to learn. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.
I homeschool my kids so I have afternoons to sew which is really nice...

Renee

Thanks glad to be here! Actually I'm a couple of hours away from Menomonee Falls. I really enjoy homeschooling my kids. My son who is 10 likes to help design the quilts I'm doing, right now I'm making one for his bed and he designed the whole thing. My daughter who's 13 likes to make tote bags and pillow cases and anything else she can think of. So after school in the mornings everyone usually sews at some point. LOL
