Since we moved to Va. I havn't met any quilters than I can hang out with so this board is like my friends and family. I ceck it as often as I can. I'm a caregiver by profession so there are times I have to sit for hours so this fills the void as well as getting psyched for when I get home. We are also taking care of my in-laws 84 & 89 (they live with us ) so it's kind of a get away at home too.
