Welcome from another Houstonian. I'm from Illinois, but have been living here for 27 years now. I love the tropical weather, and the flowers. I quilt too, have been for about 7 years now. I get better and better every time I make a quilt. I am now in the process of trying to quilt feathers on my quilts, and it's not working out too well. I will keep trying though. It would be great to meet you some time, I am always looking for a new friend.
