Just had to say hey to someone from western pa. Lived there all my life. Husband and I moved to Houston Tx. after retirement. One or two day quilting is now daily. I could join a quilting group everyday and evening of the week. Good city for an avid quilter. I now do a lot of machine piecing and pay to have my bed quilts quilted. In Pittsburgh all was hand piecing and hand quilting. I still prefer this and always have a piecing and quilting project in progress, but you have to do what the groups I belong to do. Hope I did not bother you with my chatter, but I guess I just needed to chat with someone from my Home. Houston is just where I live, Pittsburgh will always be my home. Get quilting girl!
