Hi - I'm Marge and new to this site, although I have seen it out there. We recently made a major move from a 3-bedroom house with full basement to a 2-bedroom apartment (a lot of my stash had to go unfortunately), and it was very difficult. I have severe arthritis and cannot do stairs anymore, however, I can still quilt. I've been a quilter for over 25 years and lost count of the quilts I have made, especially for my church fairs. Quilting is my passion, my lifeline to sanity and without it I can get very, very hard to get along with. I'm hoping I can make some new friends through this message board to help me keep my sanity. My husband is disabled, I was laid off 2 days after he got sick and we have been together 24/7 for 5 years, so quilting is very important to me. We are, however, only 3 miles from our new grand daughter Zoe, who is 9 months old and is so precious. I plan to make her lots of quilts, as well as pretty dresses, etc., etc. So - hello out there everyone. Marge
