Hi I am a replant from Chicago to Tn. I have just started to quilt since moving here because I live in the country where God lost his shoes and I needed a hobby. I am 73 years old and have really started to enjoy hand quilting. Not to good at making patterns yet so I am still on the 4 and 6 patch block. If anyone has some free patterns that are easy I would appreciate a holler.

Thanks

Wecome from snowy and cold Vermont. I used to live in Tennessee, what part are you from?

I am outside of a town called Henning. We are 50 miles North of Memphis..... I live 21 miles from 2 towns. So really out in the boonies.......I always lived in Chicago so really a city gal and getting use to be a country bumpkin has been hard. I taught myself how to quilt (need of a new hobby_) and so glad I found this website. It is just what I need... Perhaps I can make a quilt where my seams are straight and my points meet lol

this was unusal for us to get snow and wow did we get it. 10" of it. Being from Chicago orginally, didn't bother me much but schools have been closed since Thursday because the buses can't get around the side roads. Thank you for the welcome
