Hi eveyone, thanks for the welcome. Yup I live in Christmas and can see Lake Superior from my home. I've been quilting less than a year, however I come from a historical background in garmets and much crafting. I've been sewing for about 43 years. The pic of the dog is the Boobookitty (she has an idenitiy crisis). Mom to two boys (young men) one in Fl and one in NC. Member of the Munising Bay Quilt Guild. And I still work full time. :P
