I fear I've been rude - I've been reading your posts, loving the photos and even adding my 2 cents from time to time, but have not yet introduced myself. My mother would smack me! :lol: I'm mother to 2 grown girls, grandmother to 2 boys and have been quilting for about 10 years or so. I make simple quilts that are meant to be used. Admire those gorgeous art quilts, but I could never do one. As with most quilters, I don't have enough time to enjoy the craft but I try. I knit & crochet hats for newborns in a local hospital and also make receiving blankets. Belong to a knit/crochet group that makes chemo caps, preemie hats & blankets, scarves for sailors and soldiers, lapghans for VA hospital, etc. Love to garden, cook, bake, read, yoga and walks. Help hubby run a business and take care of my 7 yr. old grandson a few days a week. You are all so friendly, kind and talented and I'm happy to make your acquaintance!
