I stayed in NY USA for a while off and on and a friends Mothers taught me how to quilt i had never quilted before i went to USA but got a little upset and still do that in the USA they have tons of quilt stores etc but over here in the UK it is so hard to find a quilt shop so i do tend to purchase on Ebay ,,
I wish the USA was within walking distant from the UK i would visit once a week to the fabulous quilt stores available
