Upstate NY is a beautiful area. We call it that because so many people think that NY is all one big city. We live in the beautiful hills of Conklin. I just began quilting about 1 year ago when I took a quilting class. I used to sew when my girls were young, but haven't sewn in several years. But, I found I have caught what I think all of you have, it's that "quilting bug". I read your posts every night learning what you have to offer and decided to introduce myself. Looking forward to making some of those beautiful quilts that I see you all post.
