My DH and I retired from Indiana to FL about 8 years ago.I am a new quilter - I've only just started my first pieced quilt (crib). Before this I've only done panels, which seemed the easiest way for me to begin. I love looking thru all the magazines and getting ideas. I find that quilting is good therapy for me - just close the doors and forget the world. Gotta get back to that quilt project - more later.
