Hello to all of you. I just stumbled across this website while looking for ideas for a quilt label to attach to a "Bento Box" quilt I just finished for my son's girlfriend. Still looking for label ideas, but I am excited about getting to know this website.

I live near the sleepy little town of Sabinsville, Pa., located in Tioga County, Pa., not far from the New York State border in north central Pennsylvania.

I have two kids, actually they think they are grown men, but they are just confused. My oldest son is 30 and is serving in the Air Force in Spain, my youngest son (the one with the girl friend) is 27, and works for Dominion Gas.

I am the Business Manager of the Wellsboro Area School District in Wellsboro, PA. If you have heard of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, it is located in the school district.

My Grandmother taught me to sew when I was just a kid, started out making aprons, then clothing, then on to quilts. I took my first organized quilt class in 1980.....dragging my baby son along with me to classes....thank goodness he was an angel!!! Seriously!!

Anyway, I try to quilt as often as I can, which isn't near enough lately. My work is way to demanding, but when I have had enough of the pressures of work, I make myself back off and spend a few days "holed up" at home with my sewing machine.....wonderful therapy.

I am one of those quilters who have several projects going on at the same time, never seem to get caught up, always looking for new fabric and I love quilt books!!! Anyway, my stash is one I am very proud of. :-)

So.o.o....I am looking forward to getting to know new friends through this website and our shared interest in quilting.

Talk to you soon,
Marcia Newcomb

By the way, I like your picture of the cub bear.....I have a fairly good size black bear roaming around my place.......he/she loves to tip over my burn barrel on a regular basis......drives my dog Chamberlain crazy. Just part of the joy of living in the coutry!!!
