Hello from South Carolina
 
Hey everyone,

I'm a returning quilter (took lessons eons ago) and I just pieced my first current project after an almost 3 decade hiatus, a simple 9 patch wall hanging.

I am an empty-nester, married to my wonderful husband for 33 years, and I live on a farm. I'm a master gardener and do volunteer work in the community, I love to knit and cook, and I was a personal chef. I practice yoga religiously and I really enjoy travel, reading, entertaining, time with family and friends, and my dogs, cats, and horses.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and making some new projects.

Deb :)

Great time in life to revisit this wonderful craft (or art!). We visited a small portion of your state (the Charleston area) this spring and we loved in.

Garden Gal 09-25-2012 02:43 PM

We love Charleston! It's only about 3 hours from me. Great food, beautiful architecture, fascinating history, and friendly people. :-)

I just saw that the lake is really low from the drought. We've been in that position too many times. Thank you for the warm welcome.
