Hi, I am from Marshalltown Iowa. I am newly retired and live in the country on an acreage for the past 35 years. We have 4 children and 9 grandchildren. I have been sewing one thing or another since my Aunt, Grandma, and Mom taught me to do embrodery when I was 6. Now I do mostly quilting and have to have a project going all of the time, sometimes more than one. Happy Quilting
