Thanks for all the welcomes.

Tutt, yup a full life. I like my down time but I generally like to have something to keep me busy (or keep me from falling asleep).

Janet L52 - I know where Shingle Springs is. I grew up about 3 hours away from there on Clear Lake.

NikkiLu - Yes, Round Lake is around Chicago, actually north of Chicago, close to the Wisconsin border, right on the Chain of Lakes.

DogHouseMom - I absolutely love the ladies in the Lockport store. Used to have a great store closer to home but they sold, then moved to a new location and just have not kept the store up to par :-( Lockport is always helpful and friendly.

Hello from the northern suburbs of IL. Can't wait to check out the shop in Lockport, thanks for the info. This is my first post, saw we live near-ish to one another and had to say hi!

Hi there Ditzyprints. Which burb are you in? I live in Round Lake, work in Vernon Hills & West Chicago, and spend a lot of time in Lockport :-)

I have never been to Lockport but if there is a good quilt shop I will make the trip when I am nearby. I prefer not to share my locale...I am new to quilting and to online chatting. Glad you posted. I have looked at posts to this board the last month but haven't posted until tonight. Your IL intro showed as the top one on the main page and it caught my eye. Wishing you the best with your quilt projects!
