Welcome to the QB from the SHO-ME state - Missouri. We need new, young quilters. My DH went to the Paducah Quilt Show with me last year and I asked him how old did he think the average quilter was and he said: 72 and they are all from Iowa. Well, most come with groups on busses and have name tags on and I thought that was odd that they all were from Iowa. He meant to say that they were "72 and corn fed" - meaning, a little on the heavy side- LOL
