My name is Kiki. I do a lot more lurking than actually talking. I am married (41 years), have 2 grown sons and 5 granddaughters. I am twice retired - school teacher and also just retired from working for 10 years in a large family doctor's practice. My first love is counted needle art but I am learning the art of quilting. I have been sewing since I was about 10 years old but I want to learn quilting techniques to combine with my other needle art skills. I live in Matthews, NC and would like to hear from other quilters in this area.
