    Hello everyone. I am a 55 year old wife and mother who has recently developed a serious addiction to quilting. Three years ago I suffered a massive heart attack and had to give up my career as a school principal. I spent two years wandering around the house looking glum and then my husband signed me up for a quilting class. The rest, as they say, is history! Unfortunately, none of my friends have yet discovered the same passion and so it sometimes gets lonely here in the middle of Canada. And now, imagine my delight to discover an on line group of people who love quilting and seem so darned friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to making lots of new friends...via cyber space!

    Welcome from western New York state! It's really great here. This is a good place to come when you are not on the sewing machine or when you have a question! Very helpful group!

    Welcome from Colorado. I'm still teaching, but I know how much less stress quilting is, so I'm glad you found it.
