Hello from Upstate New York. I have been reading the postings here for a couple of days and have decided to join the group. I was an avid quilter for many years but have been away from it for about 10 years. I''ve decided to jump back in with both feet and want to make two personal sampler Christmas quilts for my kids and their families for 2011. I hope you will motivate me!!! I need all the help I can get. P.S My grandchildren call me Gaga and have for many years, long before Lady Gaga came along.
