Like you I had to take a break from here and just recently got back in the swing of things here. Where at in MO are you from I have family there in Bunker (near Salem) and Fredericksville. My extended family is in Poplar Bluff right in the heart of the Ozarks! I learned to quilt at my oldest sister's feet when I was little. She lit the fire in me for quilting. I have a number of her old patterns here. Welcome back!
