Howdy from another Texan. I'm from Ft. Worth and a newbee to quilting. I too work and can't wait to retire so I can quilt more. I also have a little granddaughter who needs boutique clothes (or I should say her mama-my daughter - thinks she does) so I have to split my time between the two but I love both so - it's ok - just slower on both. Can't wait to see some of your work.
Blessings,
