hey, thanks for replying! I am retired in N.E. Ohio. I have 3 daughters with 1 still at home, 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 snakes. so there is always something to keep me moving. I do a lot of charity crocheting and charity quilts but I am working on quilts for all 3 daughters and 1 grandson now. I have another grandchild due in Feb so I am happily off to the JoAnns fabrics again. :P
