Hi Lori, I also joined the forum today and I am also in NC, I live in Wendell. Like you I am a self taught quilter witha lot more to learn. I have finished two quilts and have one that i am quilting now and also have three or four quilt tops finished ready for quilting. I have just a regular sewing machine that is not good for quilting so I do all the quilting by hand.
I think we will learn alot from these girls in the forum.
