Hello. I am from Northern California. I work full-time as a Medical Assistant and Medical Transcriptionist. When I am not working, I love to read and sew and am interested in quilting. So far my first and only quilt was a "rag quilt" which was a lot of fun. It turned out beautifully and I gave it away as a baby shower gift. I am enjoying reading the Quilter's Message Board and hope to meet some new friends. You all are so nice and supportive. It's nice to know where to go if you need encouragement or help with any quilting questions. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you on-line in the future and sharing your enthusiasm for quilting.
