I've been reading for a while but never joined. I would love to be "adopted" too! I made 2 quilts so far. One was just random 5" squares in teals & purples in memory of my grandma. The 2nd quilt was based on Letitia Hutchin's Summer Dreams with swans on the water-turned out really pretty. I also volunteered to make quilts out of my grandma's clothes for my mom,aunts & uncle. the books of "Elm Creek" by Jennifer Chiaverini got me started. I am going to start a Eleanor Burns Log Cabin beginning class next week too. Sorry this is long-just wanted to get my history out there. I love this forum.
