Hi Barbara -- I am a Barbara too, but use Barb online. I live in West-central MS. My SIL lives in Decatur, AL. She teaches quilt and sewing classes there and in Huntsville at the Martha Pullen school.
My hubby and I love North AL... he would love to retire there or TN one day.
I love old quilts also.. and have quite a few from my family. I haven't made any quilts using traditional patterns... yet. I am planning a repro quilt soon.
Glad you have joined us! Barb C
