Hi Connie, I'm from cold, cold Marion, IA. I had to take the sewing and cooking class also and have never enjoyed cooking. Had to to feed a family of five but now I'm one and all I want to do is quilt. Next September my guild, EIHQ, is having a quilt show in Cedar Rapids, maybe you can come up for it. Let me know if you do. (Everyone else is welcome also)
This is a great board. I know you will enjoy it.
