Good morning to all from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. I've been one of those "lurkers" in the background for several months now and decided to come out. I retired about a year and a half ago, and am very new to quilting. I can't get enough of anything quilting related.....not quite obsessive compulsive, but close and love every minute of it. I'm on my 4th quilt...a triple irish chain. I love seeing all of the quilts posted and am in absolute awe of the beauty that is created!! I especially like the comraderie, compassion and humor that is shown by each of you....quilters really are special people. SherrieQ
