Welcome from the fingerlakes. I, too, live in Groton. What a small world.

I like to create my own designs rather than use other people's ideas. I usually start by picking out some fabrics from my stash, and then choose a basic block design that suits my choices. I machine piece and usually hand quilt. I have an antique quilt frame friends from Pennsylvania gave me with hand carved ratcheting ends that lock the rollers in place. I really like carrying on a tradition like quilting, and creating something beautiful and useful.

This is getting more interesting day by day. I, too, live in Groton and have good friends on Old Peruville Rd.

I moved from there in 1994 to sunny Peoria, AZ. My daughter and her family still live there. We lived on Old Peruville Road for 15 years. I sure hope you are staying warm and safe!
