After poking around this site today, I realized I should have started with the "Introduce Yourself" section -- too late! I've spent so much time here the last several days that I'm almost a regular already! But I did want to explain my avatar -- it's a small crazy quilt made from scraps from my first nine quilts which were made many years ago for my son, daughter, and seven grandchildren. Their name and the year each quilt was made is embroidered on each square. The blue one in the middle was my first quilt. My mother cut most of the squares and apparently got bored with the project and packed it away. I found the box of squares several years after she died and finished the quilt. I've been addicted to quilting ever since!
