Hello and welcome -- now that you've found us feel free to come and go as you have time.
I've just moved to Illinois, having been a military brat where I lived in the newly renamed Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) but that was way back in the 1960s. Grew up mostly in Alaska (1970-1983) and then moved to the Seattle, WA area (1983-2023),
We were just barely in Illinois and I started meeting quilters, was having a car repair done and was chatting with a lady in the waiting room who was wearing a quilting t-shirt and found myself invited to a local show and a workgroup. Since then I've been wearing my own quilting t-shirts when I go out and have met several more quilters.
