Hi, I am from southwestern Michigan, and after working for years as a preschool teacher, am now semi-retired. So why not take up a new hobby! Always loved quilts, and I am determined to make SOMETHING! It might only be a hotpad, but I am gonna do it! You all make it look so easy! Wish me luck, and I will share my ups and down, and holler for help!
