Thanks for the warm welcome, you guys...
Oksewglad, you're exactly right about the giving of your handiwork. My grandaughter always told me I made her feel like a princess...how can you resist after a comment like that.
NiceNCLady, I'm originally a Greensboro girl but now I live on the coast in Wilmington.
pocoellie, thanks for the encouragement on the Kim Deihl quilts. I have another one in the works right now from a local Myrtle Beach quilt designer but I already have the fabric for my first Kim Deihl. Hopefully I can post something soon.
PiedmontQuilter & Ninnie, I assume you guys evidently live near where I would like to be...Mary Jo's. I am determined to make a road trip before the year is up, lol!
