Hi MelissaTX, I am also new to the board and was excited to hear of another quilter in Royse City. I live there too, off Hwy 276.
We need to get together some time, maybe start a local quilting bee. I used to belong to a daytime one in Greenville, but now that I am homeschooling my two girls I don't get to go.
I have been quilting for over 30 years and I am working on 3 quilts for my children's beds right now.
I will try to send you a PM.
