[color=darkred]Hello all, I've been reading the newsletter for years and getting tips. I am bedazzled by the quality and beauty of the quilts and the hearts of the folks that create these works of art. I have started a new chapter in my life, retired, move to NM, my mother passing, my youngest child expecting her 1st child so, I thought I'd jump into this quilting as another 1st in my new life. I've sewn for years and created baby quilts mostly. Most of my stuff I've given away, but have many UFOs that I'de like to complete. I am also inspired by all of your quilting creations. So I will update my profile and post messges as I get comfortable. Hoping we all have a healthy and prosperous New Year.[quote]
