Welcome to the family, Sharon! It is very nice to have you on board. I would love to see some of your work if you have any pictures. I am from WV. I was taught how to sew years and years ago and then quit sewing and picked it back up. I had a few pointers with quilting but I have also taught myself. Most of the things I know, I have taught myself....There is no better teacher than yourself. lol. Just wanted to give you a warm welcome!
