Hi...I'm from KY and am brand new to quilting. To make a LOOONNNGGG story short (or at least shorter) my son graduated and went off the Murray State last year, my daughter is just starting her senior year and so she'll be leaving in a year or so and my father who I have been caring for the last 2 years or so just passed away ...sooo... :( we are talking upcoming EMPTY NEST!!! I took SO many classes from glass work, jewelry making, etc. but literally fell in love when I took my 1st quilting class!! I have been watching this forum and learning so much so I felt like I needed to finally join...LOL. I look forward to visiting with you all! :thumbup:
