I belong to 2 quilt guilds, but think I will enjoy the board more. LOTS of nice quilters and it is free, leaving more money for shop hops and fabric. I am a mother of 6, have 17 grown grandchildren, and at least that many Greats. Actually there is still time so who knows how many there will be. My favorite quilting is to make charity quilts. All sizes. Baby, lap quilts, Wall quilts. With 2 guilds there is never an end to projects. In fact I am going to be the worlds most prolific with UFO's. I need a lot of room for my stash. I am a widow so I can put it anywhere I want. So I am glad to be here, and hello to all.
