I have been lurking and commenting and thought I had better introduce myself.
I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada but come to Texas for 3 months to get out of the minus 40 temperatures!
I have been quilting for about 15 years. I hand pieced for the first 4 or 5 years and then finally bought a sewing machine. I always have some hand piecing on the go and about 3 or 4 machine projects.
Thanks for all the wonderful tips, pictures and info. It is inspiring. Barb

If any of you would come to Texas for the winter, and not know which town to stay, I can say that there is an RV park right next door to a LQS in Fredericksburg, TX. The LQS is Pocketful of Poseys at 311 Highway St. and the Fredericksburg RV is just a few steps away, depending on which side you park your RV. It is a very nice LQS and also has a nice big room for classes or sewing. Now how convenient is that?

Then, 18 miles away is Kerrville where there is a really awesome LQS called Creations! So you northern ladies that want to come south next year, keep it in mind.

We will be going home as fast as possible in case the roads close. But I made note and if we are in the area we will certainly
stop in! Thanks
