Good morning, my name is Nehmah. I'm a retired seamstress who lives in Middle Tennessee (near Nashville, but far enough away we don't have the traffic woes.) I've been quilting since the mid-1970s. I went into an outlet store and came away with bolt ends and off cuts of cotton plaid shirting. :roll: I finally gave away the last of that lot in 1981, when we moved. I most enjoyed repairing damaged quilts. Nehmah
