Welcome from southeastern PA. You will like it here, there are a lot of very good quilters and they share their ideas and will give you a lot of help. Hope you can join in on some of the swaps, they are really fun.
We just finished up July-Oct. wall hanging swap and the Nov-Feb swap is now starting. You have 4 months to do one, there is no size restriction. Look up the thread on it and read the rules the hostess has posted.
