Howdy from NC! there are several of your neighbors here on this board! (you may not know them...yet)
A great way to meet people on this board is to jump into some of the swaps we have such as the December Doll Quilt Swap.... here is a link you can read and see if you would like to give it a try. We have a swapper who lives in Australia too!

We have so much fun with this swap. NO PRESSURE at all with the doll quilts. We offer themes but purely optional.
Give it a thought! We would love to have you!
