Hi.I live in Deltona Florida and I am also new to this.Sure wish you lived closer so we could get together and sew! I have a lot to learn.I did make a t shirt quilt in memory of my mom.I am 61 and I hope that I can meet up with someone that will attend a few classes in my area.Welcome aboard.I would prefer someone that is a beginner such as myself.It sure is a great hobby!!
