Welcome from Dallas - as my title says, I am a Yankee in Texas, BUT, I love Texas! I grew up playing in snow for the winters, shoveled it, plowed it, got stuck in it, etc. I also got TIRED of it. So, now that I am here it Texas, I plan on staying here where the sun shines a lot, and very little snow!!!
I also have been quilting for only a few years. Welcome!
