I have never been to Lockport but if there is a good quilt shop I will make the trip when I am nearby. I prefer not to share my locale...I am new to quilting and to online chatting. Glad you posted. I have looked at posts to this board the last month but haven't posted until tonight. Your IL intro showed as the top one on the main page and it caught my eye. Wishing you the best with your quilt projects!
