I have been "lurking" around for a couple of weeks now. I so love quilting and used to help my grandmother cut and hand piece her quilts. She started teaching me that when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I loved that time with her. She never got around to actually teaching me how to quilt them tho... so I am trying to teach myself. I live in a little town called Rossville GA and am living in Ringgold GA at the moment taking care of my mom and dad. I have been married for almost 17 years and have no kids. Nice to meet you all and I look forward to learning what you ladies have to teach. Thanks....

Welcome from Eatonton, GA.

Thanks I love the coast of Georgia... Love Savannah, St. Simons and Jekyll Island... Unfortunately I am living in Ringgold at the moment taking care of my parents. The Tornado didn't hit my parents house but I did watch it travel down Cherokee Valley Road which is like 2 streets over from my mom and dads. It did completely destroy Ringgold. Just about everything in the interstate region is gone. We just recently got Taco bell back and they are working on Pizza hut, KFC, and Waffle house. Everything else is rubble or completely gone.

Hello and a big welcome from Missouri. My father's family come from Georgia, around the Bufford area.

Thanks for the welcome everyone... and I love the quilt store in Ringgold... such friendly people and love the fabrics they have. I would love to be able to go there and take some classes but since I am not working at the moment can't really afford it. I take care of my mom and dad. They both have heart issues, and dad has had two strokes, open heart surgery and hes a diabetic. Have my hands full so can't really work and take care of them lol. Again thank you for the welcome!!! Nice to also meet all you fellow Georgians, and Tennesseans....
