Hello Carol! My name is Vicki and I live in Surprise, AZ too! What a nice "surprise" to see your posting today! LOL! You will love it here and learn lots from the friendly quilters here on the board. Are you a winter visitor to the area or full time resident? Have you found The Quilted Cactus, a LQS here in Surprise? It's on the SEC of Reems and Bell. There are about a dozen or so quilt shops here in the Valley of the Sun. Hope to see some of your quilts posted soon!
