Hi to everyone, Just joined, I am from Bend Oregon. I am 55 and have been a quilter for 5 years, I just recently started a chapter in Oregon of quiltsforkids and am very excited about it...I am a floral designer and have been for 35 years...in the time I have been a quilter I have made about 40 or more quilts, it is the only thing that I do that totally takes my mind off of other things going on...
