Hi Linda I don't live close but would love to be your online friend. I'm in the same boat. Would love to have someone close to quilt with, as I've only been sewing/quilting for a few months. I live in Florida out in the country, I'm 49 (almost the BIG 50)married, have 3 grown married children and 6 grandkids. My name is Darlene your new friend in Florida!
