Haven't taken time to introduce myself. I'm from NW lower Michigan and there's nothing besides quilting that I'd rather be doing. I began sewing in 4-H when I was 9 years old, which was over 60 years ago! Always made most of my own clothing, as I'm very short and had to alter nearly everything. Made my first quilt for my son when he was a baby. Skipped to 1978, when I made some pillows from quilt block instructions in a magazine. Forward to the 1990's when I became fanatical about quilting and haven't stopped. I do lots of charity quilts (many for breast cancer chemo patients) and sell at local art fairs. Later, Barb in MI
