Hello Gay and Kathy D! Another Missourian checking in! I'm about an hour SE of St. Louis, which sounds to be somewhere in the middle of the two of you!
I'm part of another quilting board and really enjoy discussing the topic with others and getting their ideas on projects. I've been quilting since about 2003 also, but after I resigned from my job at the time. I don't have the fancy stuff. Mostly what I create is done by hand or on a regular Singer sewing machine! I have 3 daughters, two of which are still living at home. I also have one granddaughter and one grandson!
Current projects include a crazy quilt, crib sized, which should be done in about a week, a full-sized cathedral window quilt, bookmarked for my dad's retirement, and this weekend I'll be shopping with a friend to get materials for "Bound to the Prairie" quilt pattern.
See ya!
Sally
