[b]May a 3rd Texan join you? Actually, I'm an Okie but have resided in Texas longer than I did in Oklahoma. I've been quilting (off and on) since I was a young teen and would go to "club" with my mother. The neighborhood ladies would gather once a month at the home of one of the members. The day would be spent quilting for the hostess. A pot-luck dinner would be served.
My mother taught me basics of quilting, but she only knew a few basic patterns I learned more by reading quilting magazines. Then, there came PCs, and I not only have learned new techniques but have made new friends.
I live in south central Texas near San Antonio. Married to the same man for 52 years. We have 2 grown children, 5 grandchildren, and a cat. Neither of our children live nearby, but our son still lives in Texas.
