Hello from my mountain in Southwest Pennsylvania. I am so pleased to join this community of quilters. I've been sewing all my life it seems. My mother sewed for a living on a treadle; for her it was hard work but for me it was magic. When she left the machine to press or cut, I would stand on one foot and treadle with the other, at the machine sewing together little scraps from whatever she was working on. So I guess I've been piecing for about 72 of my 76 years. Nice to meet you all!
