I spent all my adult life in Kokomo, worked at Haynes Int'l. 35-1/2 yrs, retireing in'94. Moved to Fla. in '97. Would love to come to the Meet & Greet, but we summer in Mass. Long drive.. lol I'm relatively new to quilting, having joined our quilt league in Fla. about 3 yrs ago, and dearly love it. Still consider myself "a beginner". Good luck with the Meet and Greet. Wish I could join you.
