Since retiring two years ago I've had at least 4 or 5 quilts in the works at the same time. I love traditional patterns, but also love art quilts and frayed edge flannel quilts, which I love to make for new moms. My husband supports my addiction and he is in the process of converting our garage into a sewing studio. Mostly I think he would like me to move my "collection" out of the house!!!! I'm looking forward to being part of your group.
Welcome from Central Arkansas. This forum is the best I've ever seen. People here go out or their way 'be there' for you even if it's just having a bad day. Someone is always ready to listen and share their experience with you. I've fairly new to the board myself and have already received soooo much help and inspiration. It's good to have you here.
