Welcome from NJ. I read this forum when I can't sleep at night. I save the daytime for sewing, I too worked with Geri's at a state hospital and then with the younger pop. Retired after 32 years as I couldn't work any longer due to a disabling auto accident. I am new to quilting since Nov. 09. I also have 3 grands and a sister named Debbie, but she doesn't quilt!!! Loads of info here and wonderful gals and guys! Lace
