I have posted a few replies, but realized that I had not introduced myself. I have been quilting for about 20 years, but am always learning new things. I have tried several different types of quilting, but my heart belongs to traditional quilts. I recently retired from 30 years in banking, but still work part-time as a Community Education Director. I have a son in college in Idaho and a daughter who is a Senior and looking at college in Ohio. My husband & I ranch. My other hobbies would be traveling & reading. I have enjoyed reading all of your advice and love that some of you meet when you happen to be traveling!
