Hi Pet! Welcome to the swap! I am a senior citizen living with my cat Chloe. I have one son and two grandkids who live locally. I've been enjoying the boom swaps since #19 (although I missed #20 due to moving from Florida to Ohio). This time of year is when I really miss Florida. But, being close to family makes it all worth it. I've been sewing since my teen years. I made soft sculptured cloth dolls for many years before starting to quilt about 7 years ago. I know you will enjoy being a member of this group of fine ladies. I know I do.
