I have always loved to sew, but have only been quilting a few years, with a lot to learn. The quilt bug bit, and I can't stop. I work full time, with 3 children, and 4 grand children. I even have my 7 year old granddaughter working on her first quilt top. I really love this site and reading all your advice had been just great. Thanks from this old Texas coast gal.

Hello Jean, nice to meet ya. I'm also on the Texas coast and work full time but no kids at home. You'll find lots of advice and friendship on this board. Welcome.
