I thought it be great to join a quilting board to learn new ways of quilting. I learned from my Grandma and mother and now teaching my daughters to make quilts. Both my Grandma and Mother were huge quilters and they always said if you have fabric you will always be warm. I have tons of fabric to work with over 25 large boxes full from new fabric to fabric from the 1930's. Of course I can't resist a nice piece of fabric and adding new fabric now and again. I hope to sell some of my quilts to keep my hobby going and donate quilts to my favorite cherity Cross, that helps people in need.

Hi:

I should say HELLO from North Dakota as that has been my home now for the past 30+ years, I grew up around Morris, Mn. and spent many years in the Mpls. area before a work transfer brought us up here. I am a retired RN and got into quilting after retiring from my full time job. I do a lot of quilting with my group from church and also always have many projects going.
