Hello to everyone, my name is Karen, I've been lurking around this board for over a year, but have never posted. Decided it was time. I am from Michigan, mom to 9 kids, and have an overwelming need to own as much fabric as I can. Quilting is my escape from kids. I have been a self taught quilter for many years, I seem to have a passion for paper piecing. I have found the most informative and useful information from members of this board and just wanted to say hello.
