Hi- I live in the greatest area for quilt shops. we are just over the line from Lancaster county so there are about 15 LQSs within a 20 minute drive. I started quilting about 25 years ago, but then took a 15 year break. I raise and show German Shorthaired Pointers so once a year I have to share my quilt room with a litter of puppies. A very good friend built my "tables" to fold down to the wall so there is space for the puppy activities. So once a year I have to give up quilting for 2 months...lots of fun putting everything away, but it does make me clean up my act yearly.
